                   has now been removed.

+    Module name:   whrandom
+    Rationale:     The module's default seed computation was
+                   inherantly insecure; the random module should be
+                   used instead.
+    Date:          11-Apr-2002
+    Documentation: This module has been documented as obsolete since
+                   Python 2.1, but listing in this PEP was neglected.
+                   The deprecation warning will be added to the module
+                   one year after Python 2.3 is released, and the
+                   module will be removed one year after that.
