from random import randint
print(randint(0,9))

This generates integers between 0 and 9.

You can use several other functions available in documentation . Each one may be better for what you want. 

from random import randrange, uniform
print(randrange(0, 9)) #faixa de inteiro
print(uniform(0, 9)) #faixa de ponto flutuante

You can import everything and use what you want: 

from random import *
random.seed() #inicia a semente dos número pseudo randômicos
random.randrange(0, 9, 2) # pares entre 0 e 9
random.choice('abcdefghij') # seleciona um dos elementos aleatoriamente
items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
random.shuffle(items) # embaralha os itens aleatoriamente

from random import *
print random()
print uniform(10,20)
print randint(100,1000)
print randrange(100,1000,2)

random () returns a float x such that 0

I can not comment yet because I have no punctuation for this, but randint includes the last number, unlike randrange, that works more like the rest of Python (closed interval at the beginning and open at the end). So, in the lai0n response, randint(100,1000) includes the 1000 in the possibilities.    At least in Python 3.4, which is what I use. Therefore, randrange(a, b+1) is the same as randint(a, b)

Here is a function as a suggestion, which generates random numbers (from 0.0 to 1.0) in a vector with a given size: 

def gerar():
   from random import random
   tamanho = int(input())
   resposta = [0.0] * tamanho
   for i in range(tamanho):
       resposta[i] = random()
   return resposta
