I want to create a random float array of size 100, with the values in the array

None of the responses so far actually give you what you asked for, as
they assume you didn't mean 'array' but meant 'list.' I suspect they're
right, but here's an approach for array.array.
If you really want a multiprocess.Array, or numpy's array, please say
so, and somebody'll tell you how to put random numbers in one of them.
import array
import random
floats = (random.random() * 5 for _ in xrange(100))
data = array.array('d', floats)
print data
print type(data)
