[issue17020] random.random() generating values >= 1.0

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

Can you show how you determined that you got a value >= 1.0 or provide a seed that reproduces the problem?

I'm not seeing an issue on the 2.7.3 64-bit Mac build:

>>> from itertools import starmap, repeat
>>> from random import random, seed
>>> seed(56019413053459019451450201)
>>> for i in range(20):
	print max(starmap(random, repeat((), 10000000)))
