Python discord.py read full message

I am using discord.py to make a discord bot. I would like to generate a random number between 2 numbers mentioned by the user. So if the user types %rand 1 9, I would like the bot to return with a random integer between 1 and 9, so say 4. Here is my code so far:

async def on_message(message):
    x = str(1)
    y = str(2)
    if message.content.startswith('%rand ' + x + y):
        NumberX = int(x)
        NumberY = int(y)
        msg = "Random Number Is: " + str(random.randint(NumberX,NumberY))
        await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)

However, it doesn't work. I don't quite understand where I am going wrong. I couldn't find another solution anywhere else. I assume I need to force the bot to read the full message or something similar. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The problem comes from the fact that your if statement is never actually triggered. You are checking whether it starts with "%rand 12" which is not what you are looking for. Here's how your code should look:

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('%rand '):
        vals = message.content.split(" ")
        NumberX = int(vals[1])
        NumberY = int(vals[2])
        msg = "Random Number Is: " + str(random.randint(NumberX,NumberY))
        await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)

Also, don't forget to import random in order to use that function.
