Personally, I don't support this proposal but won't stand in the way of it either. It seems gratuitous.

In #118131 this was specced for floats to use the range between 0 and N of length N, which would be more useful and makes a lot more sense than the range between 1 and N of length N - 1.

• python -m random --float N should pick a float between 0 and N, not 1 and N #123968
• gh-123968: Fix lower bound for python -m random --float #123971
