How To Install python36-random2 on CentOS 7

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python36-random2 on CentOS 7.

What is python36-random2

This package provides a Python 3 ported version of Python 2.7’s random module. It has also been back-ported to work in Python 2.6. In Python 3, the implementation of randrange() was changed, so that even with the same seed you get different sequences in Python 2 and 3. Note that several high-level functions such as randint() and choice() use randrange(). In my testing code I heavily rely on stable random generator results and it makes porting code to Python 3 a lot harder, if all those tests have to be adjusted. This package fixes that.
