Hi all,

There is a PR (#7026) that documents the current behavior of np.random.uniform when the low and high parameters it takes do not conform to the expected low < high. Basically:

if low < high, random numbers are drawn from [low, high),
if low = high, all random numbers will be equal to low, and
if low > high, random numbers are drawn from (high, low] (notice the change in the open side of the interval.)

My only worry is that, once we document this, we can no longer claim that it is a bug. So I would like to hear from others what do they think. The other more or less obvious options would be to:

Raise an error, but this would require a deprecation cycle, as people may be relying on the current undocumented behavior.
Check the inputs and draw numbers from [min(low, high), max(low, high)), which is minimally different from current behavior.

I will be merging the current documentation changes in the next few days, so it would be good if any concerns were voiced before that.

Thanks,

Jaime
