Most commonly  you d use   import random random uniform a  b    range  a  b  or  a  b  depending on floating-point rounding   Python provides other distributions if you need   If you have numpy imported already  you can used its equivalent   import numpy as np np random uniform a  b    range  a  b    Again  if you need another distribution  numpy provides the same distributions as python  as well as many additional ones
