I don't know what to do about whrandom, if anything; remove it? Leave it for 2.5? suggestions?

From PEP4: "#This module has been documented as obsolete since Python 2.1, but listing in this PEP was neglected. The deprecation warning will be added to the module one year after Python 2.3 is released, and the module will be removed one year after that."

Though the module is useless, I think we have to follow the PEP.

whrandom should definitely get a DeprecationWarning for 2.4. 2.3 final was released in July of 2003, and it's already a year after.
