Thanks, Someone else pointed that out as well (and I found it on the python module site too :$) but now I get a security error: Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access random in this context Even the "emergency" admin account can't seem to do it.

I know this is a stupid question, I'm feeling quite inept as a programmer right now, but I cannot figure out how to generate a random
number. I've tried a few different methods but can't seem to get any good result.
Code (Python script):
import random g = random.Random() return g
Gotta check the manual - it's random.random() Also, you can just write this if you like (no need for the intermediate variable) - import random return random.random() Works fine for me!
