SF patch 629637: Add sample(population, k) method to the random module.
...
Used for random sampling without replacement.

Markup adjustments; fix the names of modules referenced in an expression.

Deprecated Random.cunifvariate clearing bug 506647. Also, added docstrings.

576474c5ae
Closes SF bug 527139. Brings docs inline with random.py 1.29
...
which fixes the unnecessarily restricted method domain.
2002-05-13 23:49:13 +00:00

Correct gammavariate's method name and domain.
...
Partial solution to SF bug 527139.

BDFL agreed with Tim: rehabilitate randint().

Fix a number of minor markup errors.

Minor markup adjustments.

Fix some markup breakage that prevented formatting; re-wrapped a couple of
...
wide paragraphs.

Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible
...
internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).

The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needs
...
examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated. Here they are.
2001-01-26 10:00:39 +00:00
d52269bfd0
Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization
...
got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).

Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
...
functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs.
FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically.
GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.
2001-01-25 03:36:26 +00:00

A \begin{funcdesc} was closed with an \end{methoddesc}.

902446a28d
Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of module
...
intro docs.
*************** Fred: check my LaTeX! Also, the docs for whrandom should
*************** be moved into Obsolete Modules.
2001-01-24 23:06:53 +00:00
5f0decf0d3
Clean up the docs for the "random" module according to comments from Tim
...
Peters.
This closes SF bug #125919 .

Fix vonmisesvariate() -- it now returns an angle between 0 and *two*
...
times pi. Got rid of $math$ here and in one other place.
1998-04-20 14:43:44 +00:00

Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere.
1998-04-04 07:23:21 +00:00
d275de985a
Remove obsolete lines like this:
...
\setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)}
These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section. The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and
\stmodindex.
1998-04-04 05:56:51 +00:00

Consistency nits:

Use math-mode pi instead of mixing forms.
Use spaces around relational operators.

Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
...
checkin of myformat.sty.
Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.
Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
1998-02-13 06:58:54 +00:00
