PythonWin And Excel Problem

Thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't matter whether you call
seed() or not. The random number generator can *not* return 10 equal
values if called 10 times, irrespective of the fact that it is
initalized or not. You can try by simply doing:

import random
print random.random()
print random.random()
print random.random()

And you'll see that the numbers are different.

Moreover, I can populate that list by hand with 10 values like:

therand = [ii for ii in xrange(1, 11)]

And the result in Excel will be the same. All the cells will have the value 1.

Andrea.
