Python random number excluding one variable

Question

Is it possible to create a variable with a random number except for one number that is stored in a variable?

For example:

import random
x = raw_input("Number: ")
y = random.randint(1,6)

So the variable x could never be y

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use random.choice form the list of numbers sans your number of choice

import random
x = raw_input("Number: ")
y = random.choice(range(1, x) + range(x+1, 6))
