How do I pick a random condition from this loop to print?-CodePudding

Here is my code. It is a bot that finds keywords from a subreddit and posts a reply based on the keyword.
It has 3 different keywords to search for, and a specific answer to each keyword.
But it should randomize which keyword:answer to print out. How do I do this?
Sometimes it will want to say "Hello" to 'hello' comments, other times 'Goodbye' to 'goodbye' comments and so on.
It has a sleeptime of 10 minutes between each scan.

import random
import time

hello_comment = "Hello"
goodbye_comment = "Goodbye"
it_is_true = "It is true"

for submission in subreddit.hot(limit=10):
    print(submission.title)

    for comment in submission.comments:
        if hasattr(comment, "body"):
            comment_lower = comment.body.lower()
            if " hello " in comment_lower:
                print(comment.body)
                comment.reply(penge_comment)
            elif " goodbye" in comment_lower:
                print(comment.body)
                comment.reply(koster_comment)
            elif " is it true? " in comment_lower:
                print(comment.body)
                comment.reply(it_is_true)
            
            time.sleep(600)

you can

import random

move your answers in a list

answers =["hi","hello","bye"]

change your answer to

comment.reply(random.choice(answers))

random.choice will pick a random answer for you.

This is what you want if you have multiple keywords: Create a answers dict {keyword: list[answer,]}

answers = {"keyword1":["a","b"],"keyword2":["c","d"]}

for keyword in answers:
   if keyword in comment_lower:
      comment.reply(random.choice(answers[keyword]))
      break

You can create a list with the options you want to print and choose one element randomly:

import random

l = ["text 1", "text 2", "text 3" ]

print(random.choice(l))
