7.3. Math Random

7.3.1. random

Table 7.9. random

Function	Description
random.random()	Random float: 0.0 <= x < 1.0
random.randint(min, max)	Return a random integer N such that min <= N <= max. Max is included
random.gauss(mu, sigma)	Gaussian distribution. mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation
random.shuffle(list)	Randomize order of list (in place)
random.choice(list)	Single random element from a sequence
random.sample(list, k)	k random elements from list without replacement
random.seed(a=None, version=2)	Initialize the random number generator. If a is omitted or None, the current system time is used
