whrandom was deleted in Python 2.5! I'm not sure when it was formally 
deprecated, but the recommended way of getting random numbers has been 
the random module all the way back to version 1.5!

Since version 2.3, Python has been using the Mersenne Twister as the 
default random number generator, instead of Wichmann-Hill. Mersenne 
Twister is *much* better and stronger than WH.
