[Zope] Random # generator

[John Toews]

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.

Thoughts?

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!

Cheers,
