if you look at the python documentation for random you'll see that random.randint takes two arguments:

random.randint(a, b)

Return a random integer N such that a <= N <= b.

This will make your life pretty easy as you can just pass 1 and the number that was passed to your random_num method directly in and return the result.

Hope this helps get you on the right track.
