    ...bits(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 would return only even numbers for ranges that large (see SF bug #812202). Generators that do not define genrandbits() now issue a warning when randrange() is called with a range that large. itertools has a new function, groupby() for aggregating ...
