when I use randint() sometimes this error will appear:
ValueError: empty range for randrange() (1,1, 0)
why is this/how do i stop it from happening?
im not doing anything wrong as far as i can tell, this error dosnt apppear on any specific randit() call and only appears every now and then.
the error takes me to the actual random module:
raise ValueError, "empty range for randrange() (%d,%d, %d)" % (istart, istop, width)
Here is my whole program (i call randint() often)
