Small typo:

In the documentation for the random module. The documentation refers to the semi-open range and then gives an example using a left bracket and then a curved parenthesis on the right.

Link to page:https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/random.html

From text:"which generates a random float uniformly in the semi-open range [0.0, 1.0)"

I am new to programming but I believe this to be incorrect. If there is a way to submit a patch for the documentation, I am happy to do so.

That's mathematical notation, not python syntax. Note that in the html it is *not* styled as a literal code snippet.
