Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Misc
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv25276/python/dist/src/Misc

Modified Files:
	NEWS 
Log Message:
Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.
