AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randint'

[calvin dong]

i am a beginner, i tried to have python generate a random integer from 0 to 10
my code looks like this:

import random
number = random.randint(0,10)
print number

i am using python 2.7
it gives AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randint'

please help, thank you very much.

My guess is that "random" is misspelled in the original code. We don't have the complete error message so there is no way to tell anything really.

I'll take a guess. You have anther file named "random.py" on the Python path that is read before the random module is reached.

And we've all done that so I usually add "test" to any program names when testing a module, "random_test1.py".

Thanks bvdet and dwblas, in my python path there was another random.py file which was being read before the random module.

Thank you all.
