I could forget it ;-)  The remarkable thing about the two instances of:

     random.randrange(0.0,1.0, int=float)

in that file is that they're obscure and inefficient ways to spell:

     random.random()

Which reminds me.  I used to think there was no such thing as a stupid
question.  Then I discovered Stack Overflow ;-)
