Victor, look at Raymond's patch. In Python 3, `randrange()` and friends already use the all-integer `getrandbits()`. He's changing three other lines, where some variant of `int(random() * someinteger)` is being used in an inner loop for speed.
Presumably the
return int(random() * n)
line in the `n >= maxsize` branch of `_randbelow_without_getrandbits()` should also get clamped. |
