Imagine that you want to build a magic ball functionality in a travel app where cities are picked at random from a pre-defined list of cities. In this video we review how to do that using the python random library and the choices() methods.

import random
cities_to_visit=['Miami','New York','Paris','Bogota', 'Madrid']

The implementation above assumes that every time you run the code all cities are presented as possible choices, which formally is the case of random selection with replacement.

import random
cities_to_visit=['Miami','New York','Paris','Bogota', 'Madrid']
while len(cities_to_visit)!=0:
