    General notes on the underlying Mersenne Twister core generator:
    
    * The period is 2**19937-1.
    * It is one of the most extensively tested generators in existence.
    * The random() method is implemented in C, executes in a single Python step,
      and is, therefore, threadsafe.

CLASSES
    _random.Random(builtins.object)
        Random
            SystemRandom
    
    class Random(_random.Random)
     |  Random(x=None)
     |  
     |  Random number generator base class used by bound module functions.
     |  
     |  Used to instantiate instances of Random to get generators that don't
     |  share state.
     |  
     |  Class Random can also be subclassed if you want to use a different basic
     |  generator of your own devising: in that case, override the following
     |  methods:  random(), seed(), getstate(), and setstate().
     |  Optionally, implement a getrandbits() method so that randrange()
     |  can cover arbitrarily large ranges.
     |  
     |  Method resolution order:
     |      Random
     |      _random.Random
     |      builtins.object
     |  
     |  Methods defined here:
     |  
     |  __getstate__(self)
     |      # Issue 17489: Since __reduce__ was defined to fix #759889 this is no
     |      # longer called; we leave it here because it has been here since random was
     |      # rewritten back in 2001 and why risk breaking something.
     |  
     |  __init__(self, x=None)
     |      Initialize an instance.
     |      
     |      Optional argument x controls seeding, as for Random.seed().
     |  
     |  __reduce__(self)
     |      Helper for pickle.
     |  
     |  __setstate__(self, state)
     |  
     |  betavariate(self, alpha, beta)
     |      Beta distribution.
     |      
     |      Conditions on the parameters are alpha > 0 and beta > 0.
     |      Returned values range between 0 and 1.
     |  
     |  choice(self, seq)
     |      Choose a random element from a non-empty sequence.
     |  
     |  choices(self, population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1)
     |      Return a k sized list of population elements chosen with replacement.
     |      
     |      If the relative weights or cumulative weights are not specified,
     |      the selections are made with equal probability.
     |  
     |  expovariate(self, lambd)
     |      Exponential distribution.
     |      
     |      lambd is 1.0 divided by the desired mean.  It should be
     |      nonzero.  (The parameter would be called "lambda", but that is
     |      a reserved word in Python.)  Returned values range from 0 to
     |      positive infinity if lambd is positive, and from negative
     |      infinity to 0 if lambd is negative.
     |  
     |  gammavariate(self, alpha, beta)
     |      Gamma distribution.  Not the gamma function!
     |      
     |      Conditions on the parameters are alpha > 0 and beta > 0.
     |      
     |      The probability distribution function is:
     |      
     |                  x ** (alpha - 1) * math.exp(-x / beta)
     |        pdf(x) =  --------------------------------------
     |                    math.gamma(alpha) * beta ** alpha
     |  
     |  gauss(self, mu, sigma)
     |      Gaussian distribution.
     |      
     |      mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.  This is
     |      slightly faster than the normalvariate() function.
     |      
     |      Not thread-safe without a lock around calls.
     |  
     |  getstate(self)
     |      Return internal state; can be passed to setstate() later.
     |  
     |  lognormvariate(self, mu, sigma)
     |      Log normal distribution.
     |      
     |      If you take the natural logarithm of this distribution, you'll get a
     |      normal distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma.
     |      mu can have any value, and sigma must be greater than zero.
     |  
     |  normalvariate(self, mu, sigma)
     |      Normal distribution.
     |      
     |      mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.
     |  
     |  paretovariate(self, alpha)
     |      Pareto distribution.  alpha is the shape parameter.
     |  
     |  randint(self, a, b)
     |      Return random integer in range [a, b], including both end points.
     |  
     |  randrange(self, start, stop=None, step=1, _int=<class 'int'>)
     |      Choose a random item from range(start, stop[, step]).
     |      
     |      This fixes the problem with randint() which includes the
     |      endpoint; in Python this is usually not what you want.
     |  
     |  sample(self, population, k)
     |      Chooses k unique random elements from a population sequence or set.
     |      
     |      Returns a new list containing elements from the population while
     |      leaving the original population unchanged.  The resulting list is
     |      in selection order so that all sub-slices will also be valid random
     |      samples.  This allows raffle winners (the sample) to be partitioned
     |      into grand prize and second place winners (the subslices).
     |      
     |      Members of the population need not be hashable or unique.  If the
     |      population contains repeats, then each occurrence is a possible
     |      selection in the sample.
     |      
     |      To choose a sample in a range of integers, use range as an argument.
     |      This is especially fast and space efficient for sampling from a
     |      large population:   sample(range(10000000), 60)
     |  
     |  seed(self, a=None, version=2)
     |      Initialize internal state from hashable object.
     |      
     |      None or no argument seeds from current time or from an operating
     |      system specific randomness source if available.
     |      
     |      If *a* is an int, all bits are used.
     |      
     |      For version 2 (the default), all of the bits are used if *a* is a str,
     |      bytes, or bytearray.  For version 1 (provided for reproducing random
     |      sequences from older versions of Python), the algorithm for str and
     |      bytes generates a narrower range of seeds.
     |  
     |  setstate(self, state)
     |      Restore internal state from object returned by getstate().
     |  
     |  shuffle(self, x, random=None)
     |      Shuffle list x in place, and return None.
     |      
     |      Optional argument random is a 0-argument function returning a
     |      random float in [0.0, 1.0); if it is the default None, the
     |      standard random.random will be used.
     |  
     |  triangular(self, low=0.0, high=1.0, mode=None)
     |      Triangular distribution.
     |      
     |      Continuous distribution bounded by given lower and upper limits,
     |      and having a given mode value in-between.
     |      
     |      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution
     |  
     |  uniform(self, a, b)
     |      Get a random number in the range [a, b) or [a, b] depending on rounding.
     |  
     |  vonmisesvariate(self, mu, kappa)
     |      Circular data distribution.
     |      
     |      mu is the mean angle, expressed in radians between 0 and 2*pi, and
     |      kappa is the concentration parameter, which must be greater than or
     |      equal to zero.  If kappa is equal to zero, this distribution reduces
     |      to a uniform random angle over the range 0 to 2*pi.
     |  
     |  weibullvariate(self, alpha, beta)
     |      Weibull distribution.
     |      
     |      alpha is the scale parameter and beta is the shape parameter.

    choices(population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1) method of Random instance
        Return a k sized list of population elements chosen with replacement.
        
        If the relative weights or cumulative weights are not specified,
        the selections are made with equal probability.
    
    expovariate(lambd) method of Random instance
        Exponential distribution.
        
        lambd is 1.0 divided by the desired mean.  It should be
        nonzero.  (The parameter would be called "lambda", but that is
        a reserved word in Python.)  Returned values range from 0 to
        positive infinity if lambd is positive, and from negative
        infinity to 0 if lambd is negative.
    
    gammavariate(alpha, beta) method of Random instance
        Gamma distribution.  Not the gamma function!
        
        Conditions on the parameters are alpha > 0 and beta > 0.
        
        The probability distribution function is:
        
                    x ** (alpha - 1) * math.exp(-x / beta)
          pdf(x) =  --------------------------------------
                      math.gamma(alpha) * beta ** alpha
    
    gauss(mu, sigma) method of Random instance
        Gaussian distribution.
        
        mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.  This is
        slightly faster than the normalvariate() function.
        
        Not thread-safe without a lock around calls.
    
    getrandbits(k, /) method of Random instance
        getrandbits(k) -> x.  Generates an int with k random bits.
    
    getstate() method of Random instance
        Return internal state; can be passed to setstate() later.
    
    lognormvariate(mu, sigma) method of Random instance
        Log normal distribution.
        
        If you take the natural logarithm of this distribution, you'll get a
        normal distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma.
        mu can have any value, and sigma must be greater than zero.
    
    normalvariate(mu, sigma) method of Random instance
        Normal distribution.
        
        mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.
    
    paretovariate(alpha) method of Random instance
        Pareto distribution.  alpha is the shape parameter.
    
    randint(a, b) method of Random instance
        Return random integer in range [a, b], including both end points.
    
    random() method of Random instance
        random() -> x in the interval [0, 1).
    
    randrange(start, stop=None, step=1, _int=<class 'int'>) method of Random instance
        Choose a random item from range(start, stop[, step]).
        
        This fixes the problem with randint() which includes the
        endpoint; in Python this is usually not what you want.
    
    sample(population, k) method of Random instance
        Chooses k unique random elements from a population sequence or set.
        
        Returns a new list containing elements from the population while
        leaving the original population unchanged.  The resulting list is
        in selection order so that all sub-slices will also be valid random
        samples.  This allows raffle winners (the sample) to be partitioned
        into grand prize and second place winners (the subslices).
        
        Members of the population need not be hashable or unique.  If the
        population contains repeats, then each occurrence is a possible
        selection in the sample.
        
        To choose a sample in a range of integers, use range as an argument.
        This is especially fast and space efficient for sampling from a
        large population:   sample(range(10000000), 60)
    
    seed(a=None, version=2) method of Random instance
        Initialize internal state from hashable object.
        
        None or no argument seeds from current time or from an operating
        system specific randomness source if available.
        
        If *a* is an int, all bits are used.
        
        For version 2 (the default), all of the bits are used if *a* is a str,
        bytes, or bytearray.  For version 1 (provided for reproducing random
        sequences from older versions of Python), the algorithm for str and
        bytes generates a narrower range of seeds.
    
    setstate(state) method of Random instance
        Restore internal state from object returned by getstate().
    
    shuffle(x, random=None) method of Random instance
        Shuffle list x in place, and return None.
        
        Optional argument random is a 0-argument function returning a
        random float in [0.0, 1.0); if it is the default None, the
        standard random.random will be used.
    
    triangular(low=0.0, high=1.0, mode=None) method of Random instance
        Triangular distribution.
        
        Continuous distribution bounded by given lower and upper limits,
        and having a given mode value in-between.
        
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution
    
    uniform(a, b) method of Random instance
        Get a random number in the range [a, b) or [a, b] depending on rounding.
    
    vonmisesvariate(mu, kappa) method of Random instance
        Circular data distribution.
        
        mu is the mean angle, expressed in radians between 0 and 2*pi, and
        kappa is the concentration parameter, which must be greater than or
        equal to zero.  If kappa is equal to zero, this distribution reduces
        to a uniform random angle over the range 0 to 2*pi.
    
    weibullvariate(alpha, beta) method of Random instance
        Weibull distribution.
        
        alpha is the scale parameter and beta is the shape parameter.
