If you mean the one at pycrypto.org, that page now says:
Random number generation
Do not use RandomPool to generate random numbers. Use Crypto.Random
instead. RandomPool is deprecated and will be removed in a future
release. See this thread to find out why.
Crypto.Random just uses system randomness, which is the right thing to
do. It then goes and runs them through a distiller (Fortuna), which
seems a little bit silly to me, but harmless.
