Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
As far as I understand, os.urandom() is fine for the task. There's no point in
mentioning ssl.RAND_bytes() just because it exists, IMO.

New submission from Christian Heimes:
The documentation [1] of the random module contains a misleading warning
---
Warning: The generators of the random module should not be used for security
purposes. Use ssl.RAND_bytes() if you require a cryptographically secure
pseudorandom number
Georg Brandl added the comment:
Sure, I'd propose a rewording that mentions both alternatives and when they
should be used.
