Mark Dickinson added the comment:

Note that this affects other Random methods, too.  There are several places in 
the source where something of the form `int(i * random.random())` is used to 
select an integer in the half-open range [0, i).

And a nitpick: it's a stretch to describe double-rounding on multiplication (or 
any other arithmetic operation) as a bug: Python-the-language makes no promises 
about adhering to IEEE 754 arithmetic rule.  (In fact, it makes no promises 
about using IEEE 745 formats in the first place.)
