title: Python - why is my random number generator not working?
body: <p>I've tried for ages on how to get this to work. It is supposed to choose a random number with 'from random import randrange' followed by the line 'x = randrange(1,3). I have used that generator at other times and it worked then but it will not work with this :/.
  Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from random import randrange
  numberboy == randrange(7,9)
  if numberboy == "7":
      print ("You unluckily fall into a pit!")
      health -= 1
      if health == "1":
          print ("You drop to your knees and lie, filled with pain in the pit. You drop to the floor. Your quest is over.")
          print ("Your health has fallen to " + str(health) + ". ")
  
  
  
  if numberboy == "8" or "9":
      print ("You could have fallen into a pit but you luckily didn't!")
      print ("You find a path leading of to another room.")
  
  print ("You walk down the path and find a light illuminating an elvish sword!")
  print ("You walk out of an escape path and find youself coming out of a secret entrance at the clearing.")
  import time
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Btw, earlier on a use 'numberboy = 0' in order for it to work (numberboy is the variable, x)</p>
