[MATRIX-SIG] random number generator?

[Rupert Mazzucco]

Hello,

I'm trying to do some simulation with Monte-Carlo methods,
and I'm a bit confused by the various random number modules.
There is rand, random, whrandom, and ranlib & RandomArray from
NumPy. Which one should I use and why are there others?

Thank you.

Regards,
Rupert Mazzucco

PS: I notice there is not much traffic here, lately. Does that
    imply anything about the status of the NumPy project?

PPS: Is there really no += operator in Python?
