New submission from Gary E. Miller:

The man page for random.SystemRandom([seed]]) fails to mention that the 
parameter 'seed' is never used.  This should be prominent in the documentation. 
 I have found several cases where a seed was provided to SystemRandom().

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/random.html?highlight=systemrandom

Present in all versions of Python docs that I could find.
