Looking at your requirements, you aren't required to assign num. To generate a list of random numbers simply do:

numbers = [random.randint(1,10) for _ in range(1,6)]

You can alternatively do:

numbers = random.sample(range(1,11),k=5) # k is the repeating count

Surely k=5 would be closer to OP's requirement

@Cobra true, didn't give that a look.

You don't need the num variable, just use the random.randint() call.

numbers = [random.randint(1,10) for _ in range(1,6)]
