Whrandom

[Tim Hochberg]

I think the original poster wanted no numbers repeated. If that's the case,
the following modification of Stephen's code should do the trick:

nums = []
while len(nums) < 5:
   r = whrandom.randint(1,1000)
   if r not in nums:
      nums.append(r)

I'm not a statistician, but I believe that this doesn't screw up the
distributions....
