Talk:Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 2.6/Using Modules

Examples with time module
I used the Wikibook as material for a beginner's programming course. The use of the time module in this chapter actually caused more confusion than knowledge. To handle time with a computer is not straight-forward at all, and even less for beginners. The exercise turned out to be really hard for them: Taming the time.strftime beast and its documentation is too much here.

I would therefore like to replace the use of time in the last two digits random exercise with a proper random number (from the XXXXXX module). The XXXXXX-documentation is quite readable for beginners, the naming (and therefore finding) of the function needed is clearer - and the result is "better" (real random). It is actually not hard to find the appropriate function even without knowing in which module to search.
