Quoting http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/random.html#random.gauss: Gaussian distribution. mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation. This is slightly faster than the normalvariate() function defined below.
So since both are offered and gauss is faster, I assume it must have some offsetting disadvantage. What is it? Thank you, Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
