Python random.choice

Question

Does anyone have an idea of how I can use random.choice on a python dictionary to choose a key from the dictionary.

Also, how do I integrate an if statement that checks whether the value that is entered from raw_input is assigned to the key that is randomly chosen?

Answer 1

import random
my_dict = {'key1': 'val1', 'key2': 'val2', 'key3': 'val3', 'key4': 'val4'}
rand_key = random.choice(my_dict.keys())
user_input = raw_input('Guess...')

if user_input == my_dict[rand_key]:
    print 'You guessed it!'
else:
    print 'Better luck next time!'
