Donald Stufft added the comment:
Just to be explicit, ``open("/dev/urandom")`` only works on POSIX platforms
while ``os.usrandom`` should work on any supported platform that has an OS
level source of randomness. So advocating *for* simply using ``open()`` is
probably a bad idea unless the target OS is only POSIX.
