I am trying to make an application that can do a bunch of statistics-related stuff and in it, I am trying to make a function that can generate a random number(go to the def open_gn() part. Thats where the error is.) However, when I try to run it, the program returns an error saying:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\redde\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1883, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "C:/Learn_python (2)/random app/main.py", line 37, in generate_number
    random_num = random.randint(min_, max_)
AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'randint'

I tried copying and pasting the code where I use the randint attribute but it also recieved an error. Please help.

Did you happen to name your Python script random.py? This thread suggests that that might be the cause of your issue. If it is, rename the script to something that is not a keyword and try again (for example, random_app.py).
