Investigate implementing rand/randn in pure Cython
The current Cython implementation for Cython (i.e. rand()
and randn()
) jumps through some hoops to call numpy's random functions via Python, buffering it in a numpy array. Since numpy 1.8, numpy.random
has a dedicated Cython/C API, so we might be able to replace this with an easier and more efficient solution.

This is mostly a note for my future self, I have not yet looked into this in detail.
