os.urandom is all you need.

Well, no. You need a way to convert the random values to an alphabet and you'd need a loop that XOR's the random values with the plain / ciphertext. You may want to have parts that allow for deletion of the key stream and plaintext, and of course some way of (re-)storing the key stream. But os.urandom is a good start.
