Gauss

Returns a pseudo-random float from a Gaussian distribution characterized by mu and sigma (in that order).

import random

r = random.gauss(0, 1)

GetRandBits

LogNormVariate

NormalVariate

Returns a pseudo-random float from a normal distribution characterized by mu and sigma (in that order).

import random

r = random.normalvariate(0, 1)

ParetoVariate

RandInt

Random

Returns a pseudo-random float between 0 and 1, inclusive of 0.

import random

r = random.random()

RandRange

Sample

Seed

Shuffle

Triangular

Uniform

Returns a pseudo-random float between a and b, inclusive.

import random

r = random.uniform(0,1)

Note: due to floating point rounding, it is possible that the high end of the range will not be included.
