[Tutor] Random Number Generator

[Jason Massey]

Easy enough.  You'll want to import the random module and use the functions
in it.  Also, http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html is going to be your best
friend.  You'll notice on that page among many other things is a section on
random number generation.

As to your code:

>>>import random
>>>a = random.randint(1,20)
>>>a
3
