Well, the real problem is os.urandom(4.2) which goes to an unlimited loop:
while len(bytes) < n: bytes += read(urandomfd, n - len(bytes)) because read(0.2) works as read(0) :-/
I can't quite accept that as a bug in the library. If you give invalid parameters, Python should not crash, but it may start to behave in a nonsensical way.
Of course, it would be possible to move the conversion warning one layer up, into os.urandom; if the argument is float, raise a warning, and then truncate.
Regards, Martin
