I am getting some unexpected behavior in Python 2.6.4 on a WinXP SP3 box. If I run the following: [code] from pylab import randint for s in range(100): print randint(0,1) [/code] I get 100 zeroes. If I import randint from random instead, I get the expected behavior of a random distribution of 1s and 0s. I found this by importing * from pylab after importing randint from random. What is going on? Is pylab's randint function broken somehow? Could this be due to installing scipy into a 2.6 environment when it was designed for the 2.5 environment? cinead
