This looks like a good opportunity to learn about the string formatting
operator:

    >>> import random
    >>> for n in ( 1, 2 ):
    ...     a = random.randint( 1, 254 )
    ...     b = random.randint( 1, 254 )
    ...     c = random.randint( 1, 254 )
    ...     d = random.randint( 1, 254 )
    ...     print "%d.%d.%d.%d" % ( a, b, c, d )
    ...
    147.23.187.25
    138.248.253.1
    >>>

You can learn about many useful Python features like this by working all
the way through the Python tutorial:
