On http://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html, the links to random() go to the module, not the function. Thus: Almost all module functions depend on the basic function random(), If you lick on random(), you get to http://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html#module-random This looks like the same problem as .

Ugh, that should say, "if you CLICK on random()". Really wish I was filing this from my phone so I could blame it on autocorrect.

I started to make some quick changes to fix this, but it turns out that the Random *class* isn't even documented in the docs except for the introductory paragraphs. IMO that ought to be fixed, too, since the intro even talks about subclassing it.
