[New-bugs-announce] [issue30464] gammavariate has a wrong comment

[Leonardo De Marchi]

New submission from Leonardo De Marchi:

The gammavariate function in random.py has a wrong comment.

It says that when alpha is one it's equivalent to call expovariate(1).

We can see that is not true (see graphs) and it should be expovariate(1/beta). It's not a big deal but it can cause confusion.
