For a short question, why did you quote an entire mailing list digest?


Answer to your question, certainly a variable can "equal" multiple 
numbers.  Several ways:
   1) one at a time.   X=5, then later  X=7.332
   2) a list of values  X = [5.3, 8.001, 17, 2]
   3) a dictionary    X = {"tom":3, "dick":42, "harry":12}
   4) a class.  Sky's the limit here

As for random, look up the random.uniform() and random.randint() functions.

Did you have a particular programming language in mind?  I've been 
assuming Python, but you might be thinking something else.  Have you any 
experience in any other language?
