Subject: Re: python code
I was wondering:
after I loaded the libraries an imported randinit when I run the program
it says:

     ImportError: cannot import name randinit


does this mean I need to install something? My duckduckgo search
("ImportError: cannot import name randinit" python) gave me a big 'nothing
found' message.
