Use random

import random
print(random.choice(['aaa','bbb','ccc']))

Given you have your strings in an array you can get the random integer in range (between 1 and 3 in your case) using random.randint:

import random
a=['aaa','bbb','ccc']
rnd=random.randint(1,3)
print(a[rnd])

Build a list with all the String options. Next generate a random whole number in the range between 0 and the highest index of the list. This number becomes the index for the selected string.

random() gives you a random float value between 0 and 1.

something like this should work

>>> from random import random
>>> options = ['aaa','bbb','ccc']
>>> selected_idx = int(random() * len(options))
>>> options[selected_idx]
'bbb'
