It looks like this a symptom of the move of urandom to os.py to posximodule et al. At first glance, it looks like this specific hunk should be reverted: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a0f43f4481e0#l7.1 so that if you're running with the new stdlib but an old python binary the combination can still have a usable os.urandom Should this be tracked in bugs.python.org?
