Hi all. I'm programming a model of economic relationships in both python and ruby near simultaneously, and as with most simulations, I need to generate a random number within a specific range. I'm a python man, and in python you can call random.randint(min, max) to achieve this. Rand allows you to set the max, but what about the min? Is there a similar method to Python's randint() in Ruby? Alternative random number generators that have this ability? Thanks.

Brilliant. Such elegance! Thank you ZeD, much appreciated.
