That depends on what behavior you want.

If you RTFM you will see:

random.random()
    Return the next random floating point number in the range [0.0, 1.0).

The Python tool for converting float to integer is the int function.

However int(random.random() ) will always return 0.

In what range do you want the integers to fall?
