Can Python generate a random number that excludes a set of numbers, without using recursion?

Question

I looked over Python Docs (I may have misunderstood), but I didn\'t see that there was a way to do this (look below) without calling a recursive function.
What I\'d like

Answer 1

Use random.choice(). In this example, a is your lower bound, the range between b and c is skipped and d is your upper bound.

import random
numbers = range(a,b) + range(c,d)
r = random.choice(numbers)
