Here's yet another option: if you move the print statements into the lvl2_...() functions you can simplify your code by choosing the function directly: >>> import random >>> def level2_1(): ... # ... ... print "Squad One!" ... >>> def level2_2(): ... # ... ... print "Squad Nine!" ... >>> def level2(): ... print "COMMANDER: Who should you train with?" ... level2_x = random.choice([level2_1, level2_2]) ... level2_x() ... >>> level2() COMMANDER: Who should you train with? Squad One! >>> level2() COMMANDER: Who should you train with? Squad Nine! >>> level2() COMMANDER: Who should you train with? Squad Nine! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
