Again, why not using only integers?

Pseudo-code to only use integers:

def randint(a, b):
    num = b - a
    if not num:
        return a
    nbits = (num + 1).bit_length()
    while True:
        x = random.getrandbits(nbits)
        if x <= num:
            break
    return a + x

(It doesn't handle negative numbers nor empty ranges.)
