Maybe I don't understand you correctly; but if you know that you only need two
random numbers I would create the list like this:
import random
xy = [random.randint(1, 99), random.randint(1, 99)]
Or maybe a use tuple and a little code beautification:
import random
randint = random.randint
xy = (randint(1, 99), randint(1, 99))
Off course you can put these small lists or tuples into another list:
import random
randint = random.randint
num_terms = 5
terms = []
for i in range(num_terms):
terms += [(randint(1, 99), randint(1, 99))]
print terms
Eike.
