Python Random.choice() not receiving arguments-CodePudding

I have the following python code:

greetings = ["hi", "hello", "hey", "yo", "whats up"]

def greet(message):
    greet = Random.choice(greetings)
    return f"{greet} @{message.author}"

When I run this I get the error: TypeError: choice() missing 1 required positional argument: 'seq' Though I am clearly passing greetings into choice()

CodePudding user response：

It is not clear from your code what Random is. However, if you import the random module and replace Random with random, your code should work.

Here is a fully working example (together with a Message class).

import random 

greetings = ["hi", "hello", "hey", "yo", "whats up"]

def greet(message):
    greet = random.choice(greetings)
    return f"{greet} @{message.author}"

class Message: 
    def __init__(self, msg, author): 
        self.msg = msg 
        self.author = author 
        
msg = Message('Hello', 'Peter')
print(greet(msg))
# Prints e.g.: 'hi @Peter'

CodePudding user response：

import random
greetings = "Hi", "Hello", "Hey", "Yo", "Whats up"
author = 'Stanly'

def greet(message):
    greet = random.choice(greetings)
    return f"{greet} @{author}!"
print(greet(greetings))

The questions on the top is correct but here is one with Discord.PY (because I noticed some things that belong to it.) and also with async

import random


greetings = ["hi", "hello", "hey", "yo", "whats up"]

async def greet(message, greetings):
    greet = random.choice(greetings)
    return f"{greet}, @{message.author}"
