Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 3 Submitted By: paul rubin (phr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: confusing error msg from random.randint Initial Comment: See the following output. The reason for the confusing message is that random.randint is actually a bound method to a Random instance inside the module, i.e. someone got a little bit too clever. It should be an ordinary function that calls that instance method instead. >>> import random >>> random.randint(10000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: randint() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-10-12 10:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Note that it is documented that the random functions are actually bound methods. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1560032&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
