Web applications that implement user accounts need to generate
unpredictable values for session cookies and anti-CSRF tokens. So
several questions about App Engine arise:

1. How is os.urandom() implemented in production? That is, what
entropy sources does it use? What RNG algorithm?

2. Is there a supported way to obtain some high-entropy bits (like
/dev/random in Linux)?

3. Are there any features that could help us generate
cryptographically strong random numbers?
