Your original post showed this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "C:\Python25\swampy.1.1\TurtleWorld.py", line 1, in <module>
   from World import *
 File "C:\Python25\swampy.1.1\World.py", line 29, in <module>
   import random
 File "C:\Python25\random.py", line 4, in <module>
   i = random.randrange(10,50)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randrange'

Which would suggest that the file World.py imported a file called random.py from the directory  C:\Python25\random.py
The random module that comes with python is typically stored in  the directory C:\Python25\Lib
and never contains the line:  i = random.randrange(10,50)

So I would look for a .py or .pyc file in your Python25 folder called random and remove it like Kent said.

Hope that works.

Hello Kent,
 
I dont have any program with name random.py. I am using swampy API (http://allendowney.com/swampy/install.html)
As instructed by author, I do following steps
 
1> unzip/extract the folder into Python directory
2> go to the swampy directory
3> and invoke python command to start interpreter
4> as soon as I write from TurtleWorld import *
 
I get that error ..... I checked inside the folder ...there is no random.py and
i checked TurtleWorld.py ....there is only reference to standard module "random"
 
Thnks
G

You have named your program random.py. The import finds your program
rather than the random module. Rename your program and delete the
associated .pyc file and it will work.
