Re: [Numpy-discussion] deprecate random.random_integers

Hello all, In light of the discussion in #6910 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6910>, I have gone ahead and deprecated random_integers in my most recent PR here <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6910>. As this is an API change (sort of), what are people's thoughts on this deprecation? Thanks! Greg

random_integers in my most recent PR here. As this is an API change (sort of), what are people's thoughts on this deprecation? I'm reasonably in favor. random_integers() with its closed-interval convention only exists because it existed in Numeric's RandomArray module. The closed-interval convention was broadly been considered to be a mistake introduced early in the stdlib random module and rectified with the introduction and promotion of random.randrange() instead. -- Robert Kern
