You could do random.uniform(0, 1.0000000000000002).  Due to floating-
point rounding, there are TWO original values that would return 1.0:
0.99999999999999978 or 0.99999999999999989; this may give you more
1.0's than you expected, and that's not even considering that Python's
PRNG could be non-uniformly-distributed over the 53-bit fractions.  If
you're nit-picky enough to care about the less-than-winning-the-
lottery chance of getting the maximum random value in the first place,
this might be a problem.
