You could do random.uniform(0, 1.0000000000000002). Due to floating- point rounding, there are TWO original values that would return 1.0: 0.99999999999999978 or 0.99999999999999989; this may give you more 1.0's than you expected, and that's not even considering that Python's PRNG could be non-uniformly-distributed over the 53-bit fractions. If you're nit-picky enough to care about the less-than-winning-the- lottery chance of getting the maximum random value in the first place, this might be a problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
