Question

I want to have multiple variables that are set to random elements in the list. Right now I’m doing it somewhat like this:

from random import choice

list = ["a", "b"]
foo = choice(list)
bar = choice(list)
baz = choice(list) #etc.

I’m sure there is a better way to do this. I tried

 foo = bar = baz = choice(list)

but, of course it just sets them all to a single element of the list choosen once by random, and I want each variable to be set to new random.choice.

Answer 1

Like @Alex suggested but without getting list as result:

foo, bar, baz = [random.choice(list) for i in range(3)]
