Optionally, a new generator can supply a :meth:`getrandbits` method --- this
allows :meth:`randrange` to produce selections over an arbitrarily large range.
-As an example of subclassing, the :mod:`random` module provides the
-:class:`WichmannHill` class that implements an alternative generator in pure
-Python. The class provides a backward compatible way to reproduce results from
-earlier versions of Python, which used the Wichmann-Hill algorithm as the core
-generator. Note that this Wichmann-Hill generator can no longer be recommended:
-its period is too short by contemporary standards, and the sequence generated is

The :mod:`random` module also provides the :class:`SystemRandom` class which
uses the system function :func:`os.urandom` to generate random numbers
from sources provided by the operating system.
