Hello, so I get an error that from what I understand it does not import the library
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "random_number.py", line 1, in <module>
import random
File "/home/treehouse/workspace/random.py", line 3, in <module>
secret_number = random.randint (1, 10)
AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'randint'
My code:
import random
random_number = random.randint(1, 10)
while True:
number_guess = int(input("Guess the number between 1 and 10"))
if number_guess == number:
print("You are correct! The number is {}".format(random_number))
break
else:
print("Try again...")

9,852 PointsStrange... I can create a new workspace, paste in your code and it works fine (name error on the if statement).
Try just opening a new python workspace and in the command line area at the bottom just type
python
import random
And see if it works? If not, there's something wrong with yourenvironment - contact support.

8,579 PointsStill does the same. Reloading and creating a new file does not help either.
