I consider this an unduly kind response.
"RTFM" would have been appropriate.

     The functions supplied by this module are actually bound
      methods of a hidden instance of the random.Random class.
     You can instantiate your own instances of Random to get generators that
don't share state.

Sheesh.  I must have been asleep when reading the documentation.

Thanks,
Alan
