    import ctypes, logging, os, sys, tempfile, types

    from random import Random as _Random
ImportError: cannot import name 'Random' from 'random' (e:\python codes\random

Answer 1

You've probably created a file called random.py. Since that is the exact name of a built-in module, your program will get mixed up, and import the file you've created.

To fix this, rename your fie to something like random2.py, and it should work.
