Let’s say I need a 3-digit number, so it would be something like:
>>> random(3) 563 or >>> random(5) 26748 >> random(2) 56

You can use either of random.randint
or random.randrange
. So to get a random 3-digit number:
from random import randint, randrange randint(100, 999) # randint is inclusive at both ends randrange(100, 1000) # randrange is exclusive at the stop
* Assuming you really meant three digits, rather than “up to three digits”.
To use an arbitrary number of digits:
from random import randint def random_with_N_digits(n): range_start = 10**(n-1) range_end = (10**n)-1 return randint(range_start, range_end) print random_with_N_digits(2) print random_with_N_digits(3) print random_with_N_digits(4)
Output:
33 124 5127
