As well as using random.random() consider whether some of the other
methods in the random module might serve your needs, eg.

>>> import random
>>> random.randrange(500,1000)
806
>>> [random.randrange(0, 10) for n in range(8)]
[4, 1, 6, 5, 5, 3, 0, 5]
>>> a = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
>>>random.choice(a)
'three'
>>> random.shuffle(a)
>>> a
['four', 'two', 'one', 'three', 'five']
