1) remove the file random.pyc in your working directory 2) rename the file random.py to something else and run it.
The import mechanism is looking for random.pyc or random.py, but you have already named your file that! Your current directory is above your library directory in python's search path, so it finds that before it finds the library module. mt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
