+     "This package provides a Python 3 ported version of Python 2.7’s
+@code{random} module.  It has also been back-ported to work in Python 2.6.
+
+In Python 3, the implementation of @code{randrange()} was changed, so that
+even with the same seed you get different sequences in Python 2 and 3.
+
+This package closes that gap, allowing stable random number generation
+between the different Python versions.")
