Unfortunately that didn't work.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
We are running a numbers game at our retirement village and using a roulette 
wheel to generate the numbers. but this wheel is only about 12 in diameter 
and is little more than a toy. So we came up with the idea of using a random 
number generator to generate numbers from 0 to 36 and display them in large 
figures on my laptop. This is for the benefit of those people who are hard 
of hearing. They like to see what is happening.
I was an RPG programmer before retirement but am new to Python. So I used 
the following code to generate the numbers but I don't know how to display 
them in large figures (about 3 ins high) or get rid of the idle text.

from random import randint
rand = randint(0,36)
print rand

my os = XP
Can you help?
Adam.
