> In light of Raymond's comments on code bloat in issue18844, perhaps this module could be added to PyPi to see whether or not there's interest in this kind of functionality?

Agree. At first look there are no module which provides such features on PyPI. On the second hand NumpPy provides efficient C-implemented functions which are 2-10 times faster than proposed pure Python iterators. Due to this fact I withdraw my proposition. Anyone who need a performance in random generation with specific distribution can use NumPy.
