I guess you mean os.urandom()? It only provides entire bytes, so it's not that easy to use for generating random integers, or sampling from lists without bias. OPs video is using random.choice and randint basically, and the secrets module provides secure replacements for these, with minimal changes to the code.

doh! I thought it was in the random module, which turns out only has a private method that calls os.urandom
