it caches the second one and returns it from the next call

A while ago it had the problem that this caching didn't pay attention to re-seeding the RNG, and so you could do

>>> random.seed(10)
>>> random.gauss(0,1)
-0.95371700806333715
>>> random.seed(10)
>>> random.gauss(0,1)
-0.95371700806333715


and get a different answer the second time - an alternating pattern of two answers in fact. Evidently this has been fixed.
