How to get a random value from dictionary?
One way would be:
import randomd = {'VENEZUELA':'CARACAS', 'CANADA':'OTTAWA'}random.choice(list(d.values()))EDIT: The question was changed a couple years after the original post, and now asks for a pair, rather than a single item. The final line should now be:
country, capital = random.choice(list(d.items()))
I wrote this trying to solve the same problem:
https://github.com/robtandy/randomdict
It has O(1) random access to keys, values, and items.
Try this:
import randoma = dict(....) # a is some dictionaryrandom_key = random.sample(a, 1)[0]This definitely works.
