New submission from Scott Norton <pikalax...@gmail.com>:
The library function random.uniform takes about twice as long as a manual
inline implementation (Python 3.9.1).
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('3 + (8 - 3) * random.random()', 'import random')
0.1540887290000228
>>> timeit.timeit('a + (b - a) * random.random()', 'import random\na = 3\nb =
>>> 8')
0.17950458899986188
>>> timeit.timeit('random.uniform(3, 8)', 'import random') # does the
>>> call/return really add that much overhead?
0.31145418699999894
