'module' object has no attribute 'choice' - trying to use random.choice

Question

Could someone please tell me what I may be doing wrong. I keep getting this message when I run my python code:

import random

foo = [\'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \         


        

Answer 1

I also got this error by naming a method random like this:

import random

def random():

  foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

  random_item = random.choice(foo)

  print random_item

random()

It's not your case (naming a file random.py) but for others that search about this error and may make this mistake.
