Instead of repeating your code with copy-and-past make a helper function
like the randx() posted by Larry Hudson.
By the way, randint(min, max) may return max so there are 9 possible
outcomes while you handle only 8. To be consistent with Python's half-open
ranges use
random.randrange(8) # may return 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, but not 8
About my (Larry Hudson) randx() example code:
I used randint() in it because that was what the OP was using. I didn't want to bother with the
side issue of randint() vs randrange() since it was just meant as example code to be adapted.
If I had written it for my own use I would have used randrange() for the consistency that you
are describing.
Not an excuse — just a comment. ;-)
