You could generate from a larger range and reject the values that you do not want: generate from [0, 2), say, until you get a value in [0, 1]. If you generate from [0, 1 + epsilon) with small epsilon, rejections will be rare. (I didn't notice this suggestion in the thread, so I'm voicing it just in case it's not there yet.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
