How do i make random letter from a string?

Question

In python I want to know how to get random letter from string.

eg.

randomize("HELLO")

returns "L"

@MartijnPieters you are right, if only one item is being picked, choice is a lot better. — e4c5, Jun 05 '17 at 08:16

Wow that was easy. Thanks! – Dan Smith Jun 05 '17 at 08:15
Strings are sequences, there is **no need** to turn them into a list first, `random.choice(string)` works as is. And the latter is trivially done with `list(string)`, no need to write an explicit loop. And `return` is a statement, not a function, just use `return random.choice(string)`. – Martijn Pieters Jun 05 '17 at 08:16
