-Cython API for random
----------------------
+C API for random
+----------------
 
 .. currentmodule:: numpy.random
 
-Typed versions of many of the `Generator` and `BitGenerator` methods as well as
-the classes themselves can be accessed directly from Cython via
-
-.. code-block:: cython
-
-    cimport numpy.random
-
-C API for random
-----------------
+Access to various distributions below is available via Cython or C-wrapper
+libraries like CFFI. All the functions accept a :c:type:`bitgen_t` as their
+first argument.  To access these from Cython or C, you must link with the
+``npyrandom`` library which is part of the NumPy distribution, located in
+``numpy/random/lib``.
