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.
* Without a direct way to compute N steps forward, the semantics of
  jumpahead(n) are weakened to simply jump to another distant state and rely
  on the large period to avoid overlapping sequences.
* The random() method is implemented in C, executes in a single Python step,
  and is, therefore, threadsafe.

import _random

class Random(_random.Random):
    &quot;&quot;&quot;Random number generator base class used by bound module functions.

    Used to instantiate instances of Random to get generators that don't
    share state.  Especially useful for multi-threaded programs, creating
    a different instance of Random for each thread, and using the jumpahead()
    method to ensure that the generated sequences seen by each thread don't
    overlap.

    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(), setstate() and jumpahead().
    Optionally, implement a getrandbits() method so that randrange() can cover
    arbitrarily large ranges.

    &quot;&quot;&quot;

    VERSION = 3     # used by getstate/setstate

    def __init__(self, x=None):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Initialize an instance.

        Optional argument x controls seeding, as for Random.seed().
        &quot;&quot;&quot;

        self.seed(x)
        self.gauss_next = None

    def seed(self, a=None):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Initialize internal state of the random number generator.

        None or no argument seeds from current time or from an operating
        system specific randomness source if available.

        If a is not None or is an int or long, hash(a) is used instead.
        Hash values for some types are nondeterministic when the
        PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable is enabled.
        &quot;&quot;&quot;

        if a is None:
            try:
                # Seed with enough bytes to span the 19937 bit

            # In version 2, the state was saved as signed ints, which causes
            #   inconsistencies between 32/64-bit systems. The state is
            #   really unsigned 32-bit ints, so we convert negative ints from
            #   version 2 to positive longs for version 3.
            try:

    def jumpahead(self, n):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Change the internal state to one that is likely far away
        from the current state.  This method will not be in Py3.x,
        so it is better to simply reseed.
        &quot;&quot;&quot;
        # The super.jumpahead() method uses shuffling to change state,
        # so it needs a large and &quot;interesting&quot; n to work with.  Here,
        # we use hashing to create a large n for the shuffle.

    def sample(self, population, k):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Chooses k unique random elements from a population sequence.

        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 xrange as an argument.
        This is especially fast and space efficient for sampling from a
        large population:   sample(xrange(10000000), 60)
        &quot;&quot;&quot;

        # Sampling without replacement entails tracking either potential
        # selections (the pool) in a list or previous selections in a set.

        # When the number of selections is small compared to the
        # population, then tracking selections is efficient, requiring
        # only a small set and an occasional reselection.  For
        # a larger number of selections, the pool tracking method is
        # preferred since the list takes less space than the
        # set and it doesn't suffer from frequent reselections.

## -------------------- triangular --------------------

    def triangular(self, low=0.0, high=1.0, mode=None):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Triangular distribution.

        Continuous distribution bounded by given lower and upper limits,
        and having a given mode value in-between.

## -------------------- normal distribution --------------------

    def normalvariate(self, mu, sigma):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;Normal distribution.

        mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.

## -------------------- lognormal distribution --------------------

    def lognormvariate(self, mu, sigma):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;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.

## -------------------- exponential distribution --------------------

    def expovariate(self, lambd):

        lambd is 1.0 divided by the desired mean.  It should be
        nonzero.  (The parameter would be called &quot;lambda&quot;, 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.

        &quot;&quot;&quot;
        # lambd: rate lambd = 1/mean
        # ('lambda' is a Python reserved word)

        # we use 1-random() instead of random() to preclude the
        # possibility of taking the log of zero.
        return -_log(1.0 - self.random())/lambd

## -------------------- von Mises distribution --------------------

    def vonmisesvariate(self, mu, kappa):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;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.

        &quot;&quot;&quot;
        # mu:    mean angle (in radians between 0 and 2*pi)
        # kappa: concentration parameter kappa (&gt;= 0)
        # if kappa = 0 generate uniform random angle

        # Based upon an algorithm published in: Fisher, N.I.,
        # &quot;Statistical Analysis of Circular Data&quot;, Cambridge
        # University Press, 1993.
