Hello

random.choice on a set doesn't work because sets are not indexable

so I found nothing better than taking an element and puting it back

a = {5, 7, 8, 3, 0, 8, 1, 15, 16, 34, 765443}
elt = a.pop()
a.add(elt)


That's not *random*, it is arbitrary but predictable. If you try it twice
in a row, you will probably get the same element each time. (Depends on
the elements, but very likely.)


If you need a random element, best way is:



random.choice(list(a))
8
random.choice(list(a))
15
random.choice(list(a))
16


Thanks
random.sample(a, 1)[0] works too
