Answer 1

Use API? if allowed.

import urllib2

def get_random(x,y):
    url = 'http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=[min]&max=[max]&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new'
    url = url.replace("[min]", str(x))  
    url = url.replace("[max]", str(y))  
    response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
    num = response.read()
    return num.strip()

print get_random(1,1000)
