[Python-Dev] random.py weirdness

[Moshe Zadka]

I'll refer you all to the copy of random.py you have on your hard-disks,
to line 68, where a function new_generator(a=None) is defined, merely
returning generator(a=None). I wonder who put it there, and why. 
At least to simplify the weirdness, we could change it to

# for backwards compatability
new_generator = generator

Which would work for all but the most obscure hacks.
