I know that there is a built in Python function to generate a random number. However, I can't seem to find it. What is it, and what is the proper way of telling it the range of numbers to choose from? Thanks a bunch.

Oh, and on a related note. I'm about to finish the "Non Programmers Python Tutorial," so can you recomend something easy but more in depth to read next? Again, thank you.
