random.choice() takes two positional arguments, but three were given.

[GOTO10]

Hello.
In Python, I am using the random module. I have used the random.choice() method to randomly pick from two strings:

    import random
    variable = random.choice('string1','string2')
    print(variable)

The random.choice() method is expecting a sequence (list, tuple, or string) as its argument. The syntax you are using makes it seem like you are passing two separate strings as two separate arguments, when you mean for them to be seen as a single sequence. You can make this work properly by enclosing your two strings inside another set of parentheses so that it is recognized as a single tuple when random.choice() is called:

variable = random.choice(('string1','string2'))

The other, probably more common option would be to assign your strings to a tuple or list first, then call random.choice() with that variable:

tuple_choices = ('string1', 'string2')
variable = random.choice(tuple_choices)
