STINNER Victor added the comment:

Donald Stufft proposed the patch no-urandom-by-default.diff in the issue #26839 
which replaces os.urandom() with int(time.time()*256) in random.Random 
constructor.

I dislike this change because it becomes more likely that two Python processes 
produce the same random number sequence:
