Sorry to jump in with replying to a random message, but I can't find the
message where this originally showed up:
>>>> Bound methods of a SystemRandom instance
>>>> .randrange()
>>>> .randint()
>>>> .randbits()
>>>> renamed from .getrandbits()
>>>> .randbelow(exclusive_upper_bound)
>>>> renamed from private ._randbelow()
>>>> .choice()
While we're bikeshedding, can we pick better names than randXXX? How
about random_range(), etc.? I'd rather have clarity than save a few
chars. I think it's more approachable for new users to a new module.
Eric.
