You cant think about this not as entropy (dealing with entropy in
information theory can be hard
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/biid2013/slides/EntropyZoo.pdf ;-))
but how many resources I have to invest to decode your cipher.

Your program generate two primes p,q someone (A) can use to
cryptography.
Lets say the seed have 128bits. This is 3.4*10^38 different
combination. A lot.
If the seed is generated based only on time, and I (B) know
that A send his message yeasterday, 10:30 pm I can assume
he generated the code between 8 pm and 10:30pm.

Seed is based on time in seconds? Miliseconds? microseconds?
2.5 hourr times 3600 seconds in hours times 10^6 us in seconds
is 9 000 000 000 us. Only 9 bilions of different seeds, 9 billions
of different p,q from your program.

I just need your program and chende the seed to my function,
witch generate all seed for this time interwal. I'm pretty sure
the code of it is open source.

So I can decode the message in no time.

But your are lucky:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html#random.seed
random.seed([x])
Initialize the basic random number generator. Optional argument x can be 
any hashable object. If x is omitted or None, current system time is 
used; current system time is also used to initialize the generator when 
the module is first imported. ***If randomness sources are provided by 
the operating system, they are used instead of the system time (see the 
os.urandom() function for details on availability).***
