RandomArray is not supported in numpy, use random instead.

In [55]: numpy.random.standard_normal((2,2))
Out[55]:
array([[ 0.29469565,  0.10410348],
       [-0.93587919,  1.19499785]])

In [56]: numpy.random.normal(0,1,(2,2))
Out[56]:
array([[ 1.0061501 ,  1.13688667],
       [-0.01728606, -1.72602317]])
