I have some code that looks something like this:
import random n = 0 while n <= 50: n = n+1 a = random.randint(1, 16) b = random.randint(1, 5) print n, ". ", a, "-", b, "= " For some reason, when running it, I get the following error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randint'. However, I have no problems when running the same random.randint queries in IDLE. How can I fix this?

The Python "AttributeError module 'random' has no attribute 'randint'" occurs when we have a local file named random.py and try to import from the random module. To solve the error, make sure to rename any local files named random.py . Here is an example of how the error occurs in a file called random.py .
Python Random randint() Method The randint() method returns an integer number selected element from the specified range. Note: This method is an alias for randrange(start, stop+1) .
We call randint a pseudo-‐random number generator (PRNG) since it generates numbers that appear random but are not truly random.
randint(0, 10) will return a random number from [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9, 10]. Use a random. randrange() function to get a random integer number from the given exclusive range by specifying the increment. For example, random.
You have another module called "random" somewhere. Did you name your script "random.py"?
