Random process not working

[dnay2k35]

Hi, trying to figure this out, the random() process is not working on my version? the error message 'Message: global name 'random' is not defined' comes back every time. Is there a collection I need to load or call in specific? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
Did you import the random module? It seems to be working here...

the random module does not even appear in the list of available modules? I checked the directory and there is a random.py file there but it seems like ironpython is not importing it or something like that?

Is your installation non-standard? Here it works OK...

python Code:

import random
number=random.random()
print number

You will not get the autocomplete for a lot of the modules in Python - there are almost 200 of them in the lib folder - so I assume only the most commonly used ones in Rhino have been put in there...

If you cannot import random, then there must be something haywire with your install...
