This may be interesting for Python developers of the random module,
"SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister (SFMT): twice faster than
Mersenne Twister":
http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/SFMT/
One function may be useful to generate integers (randint, randrange,
choice, shuffle, etc), the other for floating point values (random)
faster than the current Mersenne Twister used in the random module.
