[Tutor] random numbers

[tpc@csua.berkeley.edu]

hi Danny, I just downloaded your module and tried to install it and I get
this:

[tpc@nike __std__-1.0]# python setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

Am I doing something wrong ?
