Maybe best to clear it up by trying to think what a value of exactly or exactly 1 for the random value might mean: are those boundaries meant to be inside the set, or outside? Is it meaningful to concatenate two adjacent intervals? In that case any point can only belong to one of the intervals, not both. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
