Random yes/no generation python

Question

I know that if I want to randomly generate a number I do something like this

import random
run = -1
for x in range(10):
    rand = random.randint(1, 30)

but how can I get a random generation of yes or no instead of numbers?

Answer 1

You can do it very directly with choice from the standard module random.

>>> from random import choice
>>> answer = choice(['yes', 'no'])
>>> answer
'yes'

Answer 2

A simple coin toss would be something like this

def coin_toss(p=.5):
    return 'yes' if random.random() < p else 'no'
