Question: I'd like to generate a list of n\_length consisting of randomly generated numbers within a defined range. What I'd like to know is whether I'm missing something built-in, something that would allow me to do this in the future in a more pythonic and cleaner way. Thanks for any thoughts. 

```
In [59]: from random import randrange

In [60]: x_list    = [0]*100

In [61]: rand_list = [randrange(700, 1500) for x in x_list]

```

Basically, I don't like my `x_list` because I think it's kind of arbitrary, and I doubt that I'm the first person ever to encounter this problem, especially where databases store so much info as indices. Is there a better way of solving this? Thanks again.

Answer: 
I believe you are looking for

```
rand_list = [randrange(700, 1500) for _ in xrange(100)]

```
I think this is better if you don't care about the distribution:

```
>>> random.sample(xrange(700, 1500), 100)

```
