I did it but it is showing errors like: 'module' object is not callable – Dikesh Kumar Apr 24 '16 at 14:24
@DikeshKumar Which version of python are you using? – Aswin P J Apr 24 '16 at 14:25
I am using python3.5...does it vary with version – Dikesh Kumar Apr 24 '16 at 14:26
@DikeshKumar Are you using random.random() or just random() ? Just using random() will show the error that you mentioned above. Be sure to use `import random` `print(random.random())` – Aswin P J Apr 24 '16 at 14:27
@DikeshKumar No errors, neither with 2.7 nor with 3.5, executing a copy of the code you posted. IS the code that you saved into `hello.py` DIFFERENT from the code you posted? – gboffi Apr 24 '16 at 14:29
