There is a lot of discussion around random in the bug tracker, it's really hard to follow :-( Please use specific issues for each idea. Making os.urandom() non-blocking and always raise an exception is not the goal of this issue. This idea explicitly makes os.urandom() blocking on Linux. I suggest you to open a new issue.

There is a lot of discussion around random in the bug tracker, it's
really hard to follow :-( Please use specific issues for each idea.
Making os.urandom() non-blocking and always raise an exception is not
the goal of this issue. This idea explicitly makes os.urandom()
blocking on Linux. I suggest you to open a new issue.
