Why not simply use /dev/urandom (after ensuring you have enough entropy,
etc, etc).  If you don't have systemic entropy collection, Python is not
going to be able to help.

Of course any entropy pool measurement is merely computationally
feasible randomness; you'll need to measure a physically
nondeterministic process directly if you want true information theoretic
entropy.  Something like an entropykey should do the trick, if you trust
their design and that they haven't included backdoors.
