Code using these attributes should switch to a\n  new class, random.WichmannHill which is provided for backward\n  compatibility and to make an alternate generator available.\n```\n\nSo, I propose to simplify this test.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-110334\n* gh-110348\n* gh-110349\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sobolevn","@type":"Person","name":"sobolevn"},"datePublished":"2023-10-04T08:29:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/110332/cpython/issues/110332"}
