Because random.random() is defined to always return a float between 0 
and 1. That's what it does.

If you want a random whole number, you can call random.randint or 
random.randrange. See the Fine Manual for the difference between them, 
or at the interactive interpreter, call:

help(random.randint)
help(random.randrange)

and read what they say. Then if you still have any questions, ask.
