Hi all, i'm new here.
First of all, sorry for my bad english... I'm trying to make a simple program (i'm not a programmer) where it has to choose a random string in a list. I wrote in python, and it works, but in ESP8266 with micropython, this sentence:
random.choice(list_of_strings)
doesn't work, and retry this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'choice'
Of course i import random module. ¿It's possible that in micropython doesn't exist the attribute choice ? I know it's a silly thing to make this kind of programs in ESP8266, but i'm trying to introduce my son in programming with a simple program displaying random stupid names in a little oled screen.
Thanks!

Unfortunately random.choice isn't available in MicroPython on the ESP8266 -- it's one of the things that gets removed on the smaller microcontrollers, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room (but it is enabled on ESP32 and STM32).
On ESP8266, all you get is random.getrandbits().
But you can implement random.choice yourself -- it's the same as
def choice(x):
return x[randrange(0, len(x)]
And randrange (to get a random number between two numbers) can be copied from https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... /random.py
