I created this issue to address Raymond's comment: "The randbytes() method needs to depend on genrandbits()." https://bugs.python.org/issue40286#msg366860 I wrote PR 19700 to address that and only that. With PR 19700, Random subclasses get a randbytes() implementation which uses getrandbits(). Maybe we could do the same in Random subclasses for the random() method, so let's start with the simplest PR :-) Let's fix the randbytes() issue first.
