DeprecationWarning when creating a new project (see patch)

[sdelatorre@…]

I decided to start over with the newewst build and received the following when creating a new project:

C:\www\webroot>django-admin.py startproject myproject

C:\Python24\lib\whrandom.py:38: DeprecationWarning: the whrandom module is deprecated; please use the random module DeprecationWarning)

This didn't happen the first couple of times, so I'm guessing that it has to do with the build. I'm running WinXP & Py 2.4.1.

I'm going to defer to Adrian on this one, but it looks like a simple s/whrandom/random/ in auth.py and management.py did the trick, but I haven't done much testing beyond making sure that django-admin startproject works just fine. This is a prime example of where having a testing framework in place would be best. I would feel a lot better about this patch if I knew that it didn't break the test suite.

Working my way back through the tutorial, it hasn't appeared to break anything so far.

Thanks! Fixed in [262].
