random

Built-in random-number helpers. Each successful run gets a new automatic sequence; use random.seed(value) when you want a reproducible sequence. Works without Shared Library research.

random.random()

Random floating-point number >= 0 and < 1. Each successful run begins a new automatic sequence. Also callable globally as random().

Returns: number

random.rand()

Short alias for random(). Also callable globally as rand().

Returns: number

random.randint(min, max, /)

Random integer N where min <= N <= max. Bounds are inclusive and must be whole numbers. Each successful run begins a new automatic sequence. Useful with planet.get_bounds() for random valid coordinates. Also callable globally as randint(min, max).

Returns: number

random.seed(a=None)

Initialize random-number generation. Omit a or pass None to select another automatic sequence. Pass a number, boolean, or string to make later draws reproducible; the same value produces the same sequence.

Returns: None
