I disagree, it's just an issue of a comment in the C code. The Python
documentation doesn't guarantee that os.urandom() is cryptographic.
Use ssl.RAND_bytes(), added to Python 3.3, if you need cryptographic random
numbers.
By the way, VMS is no more supported in Python 3.3, see the PEP 11:
Name: VMS
Unsupported in: Python 3.3
Code removed in: Python 3.4
