This page in the 2.0 lib reference says, "Deprecated since release 2.0. Use randrange() instead.": http://www.python.org/doc/2.0/lib/rng-objects.html In 2.2.2 it is rehabilitated as you say: http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.2/lib/module-random.html http://www.python.org/2.2.2/NEWS.txt but no note in the What's New doc indicating why...
