How to get a random value from dictionary with Python?

To get a random value from dictionary with Python, we can use the random.choice method with the dictionary’s values method.

For instance, we write:

import random

d = {'VENEZUELA': 'CARACAS', 'CANADA': 'OTTAWA'}
c = random.choice(list(d.values()))
print(c)

We have the dictionary d which we want to get a random choice from.

Then we call d.values to return a generator with the dictionary’s values.

Next we convert to a list with list.

And then we pick a random choice from the list with random.choice.

Conclusion
