[SOLVED] print a random variable? - nevets04 - 10-11-2009
I want to print either a b or c randomly
someone told me it was like this
import random
array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']
random = random.choice(array)
print (random)
however I get this error when I do that
Quote:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "random.py", line 2, in <module>
random = random.choice(array)
NameError: name 'random' is not defined
Error in sys.excepthook:

from random import Random as _Random

random = random.choice(array)
NameError: name 'random' is not defined
Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "random.py", line 2, in <module>
random = random.choice(array)
NameError: name 'random' is not defined
SOLVED: Thanks to bsdpunk and fallen, we were able to figure out, that by changing the name of the program. It worked.
