Modified to match Py2.2 behavior and use fractional seconds so that successive runs are more likely to produce different sequences. random.Random has a new method, getrandbits(k), which returns an int with k random bits. This method is now an optional part of the API for user defined generators. Any generator that defines genrandbits() can now use randrange() for ranges with a length >= 2**53. Formerly, randrange ...
