-    """
-    Returns a SpikeTrain whose spikes are a realization of a Poisson process
-    with the given rate (Hz) and stopping time t_stop (milliseconds).
-
-    Note: t_start is always 0.0, thus all realizations are as if
-    they spiked at t=0.0, though this spike is not included in the SpikeList.
-
-    Inputs:
-        rate    - the rate of the discharge (in Hz)
-        t_start - the beginning of the SpikeTrain (in ms)
-        t_stop  - the end of the SpikeTrain (in ms)
-        array   - if True, a numpy array of sorted spikes is returned,
-                  rather than a SpikeTrain object.
-
-    Examples:
-        >> gen.poisson_generator(50, 0, 1000)
-        >> gen.poisson_generator(20, 5000, 10000, array=True)
