Hi Christopher,


Ah, then the 'randrange()' function within the 'random' Standard Library
module should do the trick. The documentation on 'random' is here:

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-random.html

Try it out; if you have questions on it, please feel free to ask on the
list.

Good luck!
