I think this is excellent application of __init_subclass__. It is common to
patch an instance method in __init__, but this can create a reference loop if
patch it by other instance method. In this case the choice doesn't depend on
arguments of __init__, and can be done at class creation time.
I like the idea in general, but have comments about the implementation.
__init_subclass__ should take **kwargs and pass it to
super().__init_subclass__(). type(cls.random) is not the same as
type(self.random). I would use the condition `cls.random is
_random.Random.random` instead, or check if the method is in cls.__dict__.
This will break the case when random or getrandbits methods are patched after
class creation or per instance, but I think we have no need to support this.
We could support also the following cases:
1.
class Rand1(Random):
def random(self): ...
# _randbelow should use random()
class Rand2(Rand1):
def getrandbits(self): ...
# _randbelow should use getrandbits()
# this is broken in the current patch
2.
class Rand1(Random):
def getrandbits(self): ...
# _randbelow should use getrandbits()
class Rand2(Rand1):
def random(self): ...
# _randbelow should use random()
# this is broken in the current code
