Python Forum

I intend to make lottery drawing program but first wanted to check the basic random module with a code:

from random import *
print(randint(1, 100))

Instead I receive a comment from cmd that contains output of some other file that I created

Did you happen to name one of your own programs random.py?

The answer is negative. This is the first time that I tried to use random.

look like there can be a problem with you Python installation.
Do this from cmd.

Unfortunately this is what I get when type from keyword import iskeyword as _iskeyword

You typed the commands at the command line prompt instead of first typing python in order to be inside the python shell which has the command line starting with >>>. To summarize, the commands to type are:

cd\
python      # after this command, the prompt will change to '>>>'
from keyword import iskeyword as _iskeyword
_iskeyword

Unfortunately, I'm not following you. This is what I see. What am I doing wrong?

Your OS environment path is not set to point to pythnon.
There is possibly to fix this,but i suspect that there something wrong with your Python installation.
Start on scratch and follow this Python 3.6 and pip installation under Window, part-2.

Thanks. I reinstalled python and now random works fine.
