[Tutor] Random Number Question

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to use the random.randint function to generate a
random number, but everytime I run the program it locks up IDLE. Here is
what I have so far:

import random

def main():
     x = input("Enter a number: ")
     y = input("Enter a different number: ")

     z = random.randint(x,y)

print "The random number between ", x, " and ", y, " is ", z

main()

Can you tell me where I'm going wrong here? When I run the program it allows
me to enter the numbers for x and y, then freezes.

Thanks!
Jeff
