Gap in understanding for parametrization script

Hello, I am hoping to get some help in parametrizing a script that I am
using.

I am using Grinder 3.11 on Windows 7 machine.
I have recorded the initial script using the HttpProxy and am parametrizing
the GET to include one of the ID's I am reading from a file

I have added vert trivial code to the recorded script to load a file of
ID's I would like to use during execution.

When each thread runs, I want to append a random ID to the base url to make
a request for a form to be rendered
This is working for me now if I hardcode the index in the list to grab,
(see line below -  * rawID=idList[0]*).

I want to randomize the ID that is selected for each thread that runs.
my script is as follows...

Any help or insight is much appreciated.



# The Grinder 3.11
# HTTP script recorded by TCPProxy

from net.grinder.script import Test
from net.grinder.script.Grinder import grinder
from net.grinder.plugin.http import HTTPPluginControl, HTTPRequest

connectionDefaults = HTTPPluginControl.getConnectionDefaults()
httpUtilities = HTTPPluginControl.getHTTPUtilities()

# To use a proxy server, uncomment the next line and set the host and port.
# connectionDefaults.setProxyServer("localhost", 8001)

def createRequest(test, url, headers=None):
    """Create an instrumented HTTPRequest."""
    request = HTTPRequest(url=url)
    if headers: request.headers=headers
    test.record(request, HTTPRequest.getHttpMethodFilter())
    return request

url0 = 'http://corpwcfqas.corp.ABER.com:80'

request101 = createRequest(Test(101, 'GET ApplicationForm'), url0)


*# Read in the file that contains the ID's*
f2 = open('render.csv', 'r')

idList = list(reader)
f2.close();

#This is for display contents of file

    idForRender=str(rawID).strip('[]').strip('\'')
    urlForRender=urlBase+idForRender

    saveBinaryToFile2 ("RenderedForm_"+idForRender, result,"pdf")

    return result
