Live Demo
#!/usr/bin/python
import random

print "Random Float uniform(5, 10) : ",  random.uniform(5, 10)
print "Random Float uniform(7, 14) : ",  random.uniform(7, 14)

Let us run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Random Float uniform(5, 10) :  5.52615217015
Random Float uniform(7, 14) :  12.5326369199
