Same error here with python3, had to downgrade to python2 to use.

@coolacid @rcliu @Greenwolf Are you able to solve this issue?

[MostAwesomeDude]

Feel free to forward-port to Python 3. It shouldn't be hard. I haven't needed this code for a long time, and it's really only of interest for folks doing historical research or doing reverse-engineering. Like, I wrote this module to help reverse-engineer Minecraft in Java! If you don't need that sort of thing, then please use random instead.

PR #2 solved this issue 5 years ago. I think the problem is that the packaged version on PyPI is outdated.

@MostAwesomeDude could you push the current version to PyPI please?

In the meantime, anyone experiencing this issue can install this module using:

pip install 'git+https://github.com/MostAwesomeDude/java-random.git'
