There's so much wrong with that message I don't know how to respond.  
There is either a grammatical or syntax error on every line.

Variables with integer values are not 'called."  They also don't change 
values unless you change it.  So if you've got a loop, and you want them 
to have different values each time, then give them different values each 
time, by calling a function that does return a different value.

for ......
      x = random.randint(a,b)
      y = random.randint(a,b)
      ...  do something with the values
