This package provides a Python 3 ported version of Python 2.7's random
module. It has also been back-ported to work in Python 2.6.
In Python 3, the implementation of randrange()
was changed, so that even
with the same seed you get different sequences in Python 2 and 3. Note that
several high-level functions such as randint()
and choice()
use
randrange()
.
In my testing code I heavily rely on stable random generator results and it makes porting code to Python 3 a lot harder, if all those tests have to be adjusted. This package fixes that.
