Wolfgang Maier <wolfgang.ma...@biologie.uni-freiburg.de> added the comment:

@selik: it's true _randbelow doesn't work for negative numbers, but the 
difference is that both branches are affected, the docstring does not make any 
guarantees about it, and no public part of the random module is affected by 
this behavior. In addition, "fixing" _randbelow for negative input cannot be 
done without impacting performance of several public methods of random.Random 
so I don't think this should be done.
