Is it possible to generate a random number with random.randint from 0-100 on increments of 5?
random.randint(0,100)
If its possible I need way to generate random integers from 0-100 but only with increments of 5.
python random.randint generate 0-100 on increments of 5

Either use random.randrange() which lets you pick a step value:
random.randrange(0, 101, 5)
or just generate a number between 0 and 20 and multiply that number by 5:
random.randint(0, 20) * 5
I'm assuming here that 100 is a valid result. If 100 should not be generated, use random.randrange(0, 100, 5) or random.randint(0, 19) * 5.
If you wanted to generate a numpy array of such numbers using the numpy.random.randint() function (instead of the standard library random module version), just use
np.random.randint(0, 20, size=expected_size) * 5
The following code will generate random integer between 0 to 100
import numpy as np
random.choice(np.arange(0,101,5))
