Here is a strict translation of your code.  The algorithm remains the  
same,  but
it has been cleaned up a bit.  Duplications have been removed, and the  
various
logical bits have been broken down into separate functions.

I suspect you don't know about random.randint(low, high).  It  
generates random
integers between the low and high inclusively.  E.g. random.randint(0,  
1)
will generate either 0 or 1.


import random

entrance = 6
exit = 11
death_room = 13

low_treasure_value = 10
high_treasure_value = 110

treasure_rooms = 3
monster_rooms = 4

table= [[ 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 1, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 2, 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 4, 0, 0, 3,15,13, 0],
        [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 7,10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [ 0,19, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0],
