Generating a random number

[Ron White]

Hi,
When I used the following I got:

>>> from random import randrange
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ?
    from random import randrange
  File "C:\PYTHON21\Tools\idle\random.py", line 3
    for i in range(10):
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>

The one thing that has worked is from Dale Strickland-Clark.  That is:

from whrandom import randint

print randint(1, 10)

I wonder if my random module is corrupt?

Ron
