Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:
There is another randrange() oddity. If stop is None, the step argument is
ignored:
>>> randrange(100, stop=None, step=10)

If we want to fully harmonize with range(), then randrange() should only accept
positional arguments and should not allow None for the stop argument. That
would leave the unoptimized implementation equivalent to:
def randrange(self, /, *args):
return self.choice(range(*args))
The actual implementation can retain its fast paths and have a nicer looking
signature perhaps using __text_signature__.
