I am not sure what doc you refer to, but look at the documentation for
the random and whrandom modules.  See:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/rng-objects.html
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-whrandom.html

If you want a uniform real randome number between x and y try
import whrandom
whrandom.random(x,y)

Good luck,
