From: joe_schmoe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For example, this is what I am currently doing:
=============code block ========================
# generate unique numbers and append to list nmbr01 = random.randrange( 1, 20 ) nmbr_list.append( nmbr01 )
nmbr02 = random.randrange( 1, 20 ) # check for duplicates and re-generate a number if needed while nmbr02 in nmbr_list: nmbr02 = random.randrange( 1, 20 ) nmbr_list.append( nmbr02 )
nmbr03 = random.randrange( 1, 20 ) while nmbr03 in nmbr_list: nmbr03 = random.randrange( 1, 20 ) nmbr.append( nmbr03 )
================================================
Since you want unique entries, couldn't you just do something like
def unique_entries(n,start=1,stop=20):
"Generate n unique entries in range(1,20)"
from random import shuffle
l = range(start,stop)
shuffle(l)
return l[:n]
