Creating a random integer....

[Matthew Thorley]

Python has a module for doing just that its called random. Try this:

import random

# print a random interger between 0 100
print random.randint(0,100)

# print a random number from the list lst
lst = [1,3,6,17,87,330]
print random.choice(lst)

Hope this helps. I recommend picking up a copy of Python Standard 
Library by Fredrick Lundh at your local book store or library. It will 
have more detailed information about the random module and the PSL.
