"Misused" seems a bit strong. Should I understand that you dislike the 
wrapper around _randbelow? The implementation was given in the PEP, and 
I don't remember any objections to it, but if you have an alternative 
implementation I'm not wedded to the idea of wrapping _randbelow.

Thanks for the patch Brendan, and thanks Raymond for applying it.
