Exploring the Python random Module: Functions and Examples for Generating Random Data

A Python module can contain objects like docstrings, variables constants, classes, objects, statements, functions.

Python Random module is an in-built module of Python which is used to generate random numbers. These are pseudo-random numbers means these are not truly random. This module can be used to perform random actions such as generating random numbers, print random a value for a list or string, etc.

Example: Printing a random value from a list

# import random
import random
  
# prints a random value from the list
list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
print(random.choice(list1))
