I am trying to get a random n number of users from a set of unique users.
Here is what I have so far
users = set()
random_users = random.sample((users), num_of_user)
This works well but it is giving me a deprecated warning. What should I be using instead? random.choice doesn't work with sets
UPDATE
I am trying to get reactions on a post and want them to be unique which is why I used a set
. Would it be better to stick with a list for this?
users = set()
for reaction in msg.reactions:
async for user in reaction.users():
users.add(user)
CodePudding user response:
Convert your set to a list using *
operator to unpack your dict:
random_users = random.choices([*users],k=num_of_user)
You can also create a list, and make the elements unique later. For this, a common way is to convert your list to a set, and back to a list again.
