Getting output from the random Python module

I’m trying to run a script that takes five functions in a list, and picks one at random using the random module.

myList = [quote1(), quote2(), quote3(), quote4(), quote5()]

def random_output(): random.choice(myList)

print(random_output) 

However, upon running, it just prints all of the quotes at the same time, followed by <function random_output at 0x0000019F66EF4430>.

>Solution :

You should put your functions in myList, not the result of their call. Then call the function after selecting it with random.choice:

myList = [quote1, quote2, quote3, quote4, quote5]

def random_output():
    # select a random function
    # call it, and return its output
    return random.choice(myList)()

print(random_output())
