Open random png image from a folder

Question

Hello i need help with a very simple Python 3 script. In the script i try open a png image file from a folder with this:

png = Image.open('img/image.png', + 'r')

It's work good, but now i need get random .png images from same folder, but after some unsuccessful try, I'll like know how do it, actually i use in my script

from random import randint
import uuid
from PIL import Image

Any help will be appreciated, thank you all

Can you show the exact code you tried, and describe how exactly it failed (exception, unexpected results, etc)? — glibdud, Jan 30 '19 at 16:57
[List all the `.png` in a directory](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27593246/7501501) then [pick a random item from the list](https://pynative.com/python-random-choice/). — Yonlif, Jan 30 '19 at 17:03
Get a list of the file names in the folder with `glob.glob()` and then use `random.choice()` to pick one of them. — martineau, Jan 30 '19 at 17:04
