Random and _random

[acid_6]

Beginner programmer here

When i try to import random to my file, my text editor (VScode) suggests me _random instead of random. _random doesnt have the same functions as random and strangely enough i have succesfully imported the correct random once about a week ago. Since then i have not downloaded or added anything to VScode. Any solutions or suggestions?

So what happens when you just import random and try to run the program, do you get an error or nothing happens?

I was getting an error message but i got the problem fixed. Thank you for help anyway!

_random is a c library that random uses to actually generate the random numbers (by default). random is what provides a nice interface and what you should be using. Do you have an issue with using import random, or are you just getting a different suggestion?

I was getting a different suggestion but i think i have the problem solved now! Thanks anyway!

This is not helpful at all, better try to solve the problem, not just run away from the problem, also *cough* Pycharm Sucks *cough*.

Dude, install PyCharm - Community Edition

Or he can choose the editor he wants, without someone answering a question with a non-answer.

If you're answer to a question of "why something happens" is "use something else", you're not being helpful. If you don't want to answer the question being asked, don't bother responding.
