Implement a picker wheel in Python 3 using random

Discovering the diverse universe of craft beers can be both an exciting and overwhelming journey. But how do you choose which beer style to try next?
Enter: the Craft-Beer Picker Wheel.

import random

def picker_wheel(choices):
    """Select a random choice from a list."""
    choice = random.choice(choices)
    return choice

beer_types = [
    "Bières IPA (India Pale Ale)",
    "Bières Stout",
    "Bières Sour Ale",
    "Bières Saison/Farmhouse Ale",
    "Bières Porte",
    "Bières Lager",
    "Bières Pilsner",
    "Bières de Blé (Wheat Beers)",
]

selected_beer = picker_wheel(beer_types)
print("The picker wheel selected:", selected_beer)

Usage and result

user@computer % python3 craft_beer_picker_wheel.py
The picker wheel selected: Bières Sour Ale

In this script:

1. We import the random module, which provides functionality for generating random numbers and making random choices.

2. We define a function picker_wheel that takes a list of choices and returns a random choice from that list. It uses the random.choice function to do this.

3. We define a list of beer types.

4. We use the picker_wheel function to select a random beer type.

5. We print out the selected beer.
