            generate, the ``high`` is excluded in the range. Default is None
            (see above for behavior if high = None). Default is None.
        shape(list|tuple|Tensor): The shape of the output Tensor. If ``shape``
            is a list or tuple, the elements of it should be integers or Tensors
            (with the shape [1], and the data type int32 or int64). If ``shape``
            is a Tensor, it should be a 1-D Tensor(with the data type int32 or
            int64). Default is [1].
        dtype(str|np.dtype|core.VarDesc.VarType, optional): The data type of the
            output tensor. Supported data types: int32, int64. If ``dytpe``
            is None, the data type is int64. Default is None.

            need for user to set this property.  For more information, please
            refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Returns: 
        Tensor: A Tensor filled with random integers from a discrete uniform
        distribution in the range [``low``, ``high``), with ``shape`` and ``dtype``.

    Raises:
        TypeError: If ``shape`` is not list, tuple, Tensor.
        TypeError: If ``dtype`` is not int32, int64.
        ValueError: If ``high`` is not greater then ``low``; If ``high`` is
