Python Random Function without using random module

Question

I need to write the function -

random_number(minimum,maximum)

Without using the random module and I did this:

import time

def         


        

Answer 1

Idea is to get number between 0 and 1 using time module and use that to get a number in range.Following will print 20 numbers randomly in range 20 and 60

from time import time

def time_random():
 return time() - float(str(time()).split('.')[0])

def gen_random_range(min, max):
 return int(time_random() * (max - min) + min)

if __name__ == '__main__':
 for i in range(20):
     print gen_random_range(20,60)
