The great renaming, phase two: all header files have been updated to
 
use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".

\section{Standard Module \sectcode{rand}}

\stmodindex{rand} This module implements a pseudo-random number
generator with an interface similar to \code{rand()} in C.  It defines
the following functions:

\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module rand)}
\begin{funcdesc}{rand}{}
Returns an integer random number in the range [0 ... 32768).
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{choice}{s}
Returns a random element from the sequence (string, tuple or list)
\var{s}.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{srand}{seed}
Initializes the random number generator with the given integral seed.
When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized with
the current time.
\end{funcdesc}
