My problem is simple, is their a way to make a variable equal multiple

For a short question, why did you quote an entire mailing list digest?
Answer to your question, certainly a variable can "equal" multiple
numbers. Several ways:
1) one at a time. X=5, then later X=7.332
2) a list of values X = [5.3, 8.001, 17, 2]
3) a dictionary X = {"tom":3, "dick":42, "harry":12}
4) a class. Sky's the limit here
As for random, look up the random.uniform() and random.randint() functions.
Did you have a particular programming language in mind? I've been
assuming Python, but you might be thinking something else. Have you any
experience in any other language?
