Turtle and Random

[Juiceman]

So it keeps erroring a the the second random (rnumber = random.randint(1,4) number i'm trying to generate. any ideas why?

#Program that uses the turtle and random functions to create a drunk turtle

#import the turtle
import turtle
#import random
import random

#set random move values
random = random.randint(50,100)
#generate random direction

rnumber = random.randint(1,4)

if rnumber == 1:
    turtle.heading = 0
elif rnumber == 2:
    turtle.heading = 90
elif rnumber == 3:
    turtle.heading = 180
elif rnumber == 4:
    turtle.heading = 270

#change turtle into a turtle
turtle.shape("turtle")
#startr drawing
turtle.pd()
#turn a random direction 1
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 1
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 2
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 2
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 3
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 3
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 4
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 4
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 5
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 5
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 6
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 6
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 7
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 7
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 8
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 8
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 9
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 9
turtle.fd(random)
#turn a random direction 10
turtle.setheading(rnumber)
#forward a random amount 10
turtle.fd(random)

turtle.pu()
turtle.home()
turtle.right(90)
turtle.fd(20)
turtle.write("Total distance covered by turtle ="+str(turtle.distance))
turtle.fd(30)
turtle.write("Final position of turtle: x= "+str(turtle.xcor())+str(" y= ")+str(turtle.ycor()))

Because you broke the link the random module. By naming your first random number 'random', you made it so the name 'random' no longer refers to a module with randint in it. Be careful with your variable names.

makes sense! thanks so much!
