Create a random number generator, win a PyCharm license

Abstract:Create a random number generator in Python and share 
your project on any public repository before the start of the 
meetup.  The project must accept two inputs of type integer: 
minimum and maximum.  It must return a random integer between 
the minimum and maximum values, inclusive.  The project can use 
any user interface.  Projects will be judged by their true 
randomness, creativity, and other qualities.  The best random 
number generator as chosen by attendees will be used to select 
the winner of a drawing for a free PyCharm Professional for user 
groups license, valid for 90 days.

Framework and web application development in general.  Ambitious 
participants may find missing features, and learn to submit pull 
requests to enhance the open source project.

projects, including the Pyramid web framework.  He recently
