On which criteria do you fix that?
Anyway, you could use a module myrandom.py:
import random
if use_sys:
 randobj = random.SystemRandom()
else:
 randobj = random.Random()
and then use
from myrandom import randobj as random
and then use random's methods (randrange, random, whatever), no matter 
where they come from.
