@@ -84,6 +84,14 @@ Library seed. 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 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.izip() with no arguments now returns an empty iterator instead of raising a TypeError exception. |
