How do you simulate a dice roll in python?

[matt murray]

I'm writing a text based adventure game and was wondering if there was a way to "Roll Dice". An example of what i am trying to use this for would be attacking or defending in the game. If they get above or equal to a certain number It would be considered a hit. I would also need this same automated dice rolling for the enemies in the game.

Thanks

Matt.

Sounds like a random number generator is what you need. 'randrange' gives a one-liner to get a random integer:

from random import randrange
diceroll = randrange(1,7)

Thanks a lot. Both were a big help.
