New submission from Dong-hee Na <donghee...@python.org>:
I noticed that the random library does not provide `random.randbool()`.
Generating bool value is quite common in the use-case when we generated faked
data
(unittest, machine learning training, etc)
Somebody can say write your own library but it's too common use-case and in
physically some isolated environments is hard to use 3rd party library.
Since the bool value is the built-in type of python, I think that is very
useful when we provide this function.
I would like to get opinions from Raymond and then proceed with this issue.
Here is the candidate implementation:
def randbool():
return bool(getrandbits(1))
