If you want a normal distribution, using the Box-Muller transform is
simpler because it spares you the complication of fig

Please don't talk garbage. If you had really tried the random module, yo

It's all in the standard library, the module is called -surprisingly-
'random'.
- use random.uniform for the uniform distributi

of course i have tried random package, but can this package generate random
sequence that satisfy possion distribution , normal distribution and uniform
distribution

such as uniform distribution, Normal distribution or poisson distribution.
is there any package that can be used to generate such random numbers.
