Raymond Hettinger40f62172002-12-29 23:03:38 +000035General notes on the underlying Mersenne Twister core generator:
Guido van Rossume7b146f2000-02-04 15:28:42 +000036
Raymond Hettinger40f62172002-12-29 23:03:38 +000037* The period is 2**19937-1.
Thomas Wouters0e3f5912006-08-11 14:57:12 +000038* It is one of the most extensively tested generators in existence.
Thomas Wouters0e3f5912006-08-11 14:57:12 +000039* The random() method is implemented in C, executes in a single Python step,
40 and is, therefore, threadsafe.
