Question

I need to write the function -

random_number(minimum,maximum)

Answer 1

Are you allowed to read random data in some special file? Under Linux, the file `/dev/urandom' provides a convenient way to get random bytes. You could write:

import struct
f = open("/dev/urandom","r")
n = struct.unpack("i",f.read(4))[0]

But this will not work under Windows however.
