Hi I have problem with this code. It is game MasterMind. If guess number, program return problem.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "mastermind.py", line 47, in <module> random = random.randint(1,11). AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'randint'

Thanks for all help.

Answer 1

random = random.randint(1,11)

This statement rebinds the random name, which currently refers to the imported module (it was set when you did import random ), to an integer returned from randint() . The next time you execute this statement, random will no longer be the module, it will be an integer.

That's why it's complaining about trying to access a non-existent attribute of an int object.

The following transcript shows what's happening:

>>> import random
>>> type(random)
<class 'module'>

>>> random = random.randint(1,7)
>>> type(random)
<class 'int'>

>>> random = random.randint(1,7)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'randint'

To fix, simply use a different name for the random value, such as randNum , so that random continues to be bound to the module.

Answer 2

You can not use random as a variable name since that is a module you are using, simply change the variable name and it should fix the issue.

Here I changed it to random_int instead and it works just fine.
