Hello Daπid,

I remember having written a random module for numpy based on stdlibs random 
module, but somehow it didn't make it into numpypy. Does anyone know where it went?

Writing that is a bit problematic, though, unless you know how to make all those 
distributions work based on a stream of random bits. I didn't at that time.
