python列表随机选择并删除,如何从列表中选择一个随机元素并将其删除？

Let's say I have a list of colours, colours = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'purple'].

I then wish to call this python function that I hope exists, random_object = random_choice(colours).

Now, if random_object holds 'blue', I hope colours = ['red', 'green', 'purple'].

Does such a function exist in python?

Firstly, if you want it removed because you want to do this again and again, you might want to use random.shuffle() in the random module.

random.choice() picks one, but does not remove it.

Otherwise, try:

import random

# this will choose one and remove it

def choose_and_remove( items ):

# pick an item index

if items:

index = random.randrange( len(items) )

return items.pop(index)

# nothing left!

return None
