The Mersenne Twister is no longer regarded as quite state-of-the art because it can get into states that produce long sequences that are not very random. There is a variation on MT called WELL that has better properties in this regard. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to replace MT with WELL as Python's default rng? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_equidistributed_long-period_linear -- Greg
