It says "; current system time is also used to initialize
the generator when the module is first imported. "  That
sugests that the module is passing the current time to the
generator, rather than that the generator is initializing
itself with the current time.

Proposed new wording: ".  When a new generator is
instantiated, its inititialization method calls the seed
operation with a parameter of None.  The seed method then
uses the current time to initialize the generator as
described above.  If you subclass Random, your seed
operation can use some different method to create a default
seed on being initialized with None."
