numpy.random.rand??


    Return an array of the given dimensions which is initialized to
    random numbers from a uniform distribution in the range [0,1).

    rand(d0, d1, ..., dn) -> random values

    Note:  This is a convenience function. If you want an
                interface that takes a tuple as the first argument
                use numpy.random.random_sample(shape_tuple).
