import random

I am unable to import random library properly. Getting following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "random.py", line 2, in <module>
import random
File "/home/treehouse/workspace/random.py", line 4, in <module>
random.randint(1, 4)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randint'

Since you named your file random.py, Python is importing it when you do import random. Rename your file and you should be fine.
