Python error IndexError Cannot choose from an empty sequence

Question

I'm getting the following python error while using the random module:

 File "C:\Python33\lib\random.", line 250, in choice
    raise IndexError('Cannot choose from an empty sequence')
IndexError: Cannot choose from an empty sequence

How do I get rid of it?

Hi @Isha, According to your error 

 File "C:\Python33\lib\random.", line 250, in choice
    raise IndexError('Cannot choose from an empty sequence')
IndexError: Cannot choose from an empty sequence

Your file name seems to be random. Random is a module and can not be used as a file name. 

Change the filename and you should be fine.
