Randomize in tables

[deanhystad]

I would make combinations that match the requirements and randomly choose from those.

import random
from itertools import combinations

all_choices = {key: random.randint(1, 5) for key in "ABCDEFG"}


def reduce(choices, count=1, total=float("inf")):
    return [
        combo
        for combo in combinations(choices.items(), count)
        if sum(item[1] for item in combo) <= total
    ]


# Get all combination of 5 choices who's sum <= 15
matching_choices = reduce(all_choices, 5, 15)
if matching_choices:
    print(
        f"{random.choice(matching_choices)} from {len(matching_choices)} matching combinations"
    )
else:
    print("No combination meets the requirements")
