"urandom(n)

Return a string of n random bytes suitable for cryptographic use.
This function returns random bytes from an OS-specific randomness 
source. The returned data should be unpredictable enough for 
cryptographic applications, though its exact quality depends on the 
OS implementation. On a UNIX-like system this will query 
/dev/urandom, and on Windows it will use CryptGenRandom. If a 
randomness source is not found, NotImplementedError will be raised. 
New in version 2.4."

 >>> from os import urandom
 >>> urandom(10)
