[Zope-dev] FYI: random2

Hi everyone,

one of the issues while porting apps to Python 3 is that Python 3 uses a new 
algorithm for randrange(), which produces different output for Python 2 and 3. 
I just released random2, which is a port of Python 2.7's `random` module to 
Python 2.6, 3.2 and 3.3. This way your random output will not change while 
porting.

Note: This is of course most useful to the ones among you that use sampledata 
generation heavily.

Regards,
Stephan
