"""Flip the value of the attributes of the input individual and return the
mutant. The *individual* is expected to be a :term:`sequence` and the values of the
attributes shall stay valid after the ``not`` operator is called on them.
The *prob* argument is the probability of each attribute to be
flipped. This mutation is usually applied on boolean individuals.
:param variable: Decision Variable to be mutated.
:param prob: Independent probability for each attribute to be flipped.
:returns: A tuple of one variable.
This function uses the :func:`~random.random` function from the python base
:mod:`random` module.
