Python version, "2.7.2+", what does the plus mean?

I have a virtual environment that I installed some time ago. When I activate it and run python I'm told that the version number is

Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:03:08)

What does the plus after the version number mean?

And could that somehow explain why the function os.urandom is not defined, even when (according to the documentation) it has been there since version 2.4.

>>> from os import urandom
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name urandom
