Alot. :)

Sigh. ...
Hmm, I see that RestrictedPython/Utilities.py on the Z3 trunk aliases 'random' as 'whrandom' -- could we use that strategy for 2.8 etc.?
Yes. random has the same documented functions and signatures as whrandon.
We could remove them for 2.9, I guess, and just make people fix their applications.
I suggest we make aliases and generate deprecation warnings if whrandom is used. (The later may be tricky, I realize.) Maybe for now, just make aliases and move on. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
