I'm having issues (still) with generating a random object, in this case a random herb found by foraging. Here's the code for the function:

def collectPlants(self):if self.state == 'normal':print"%s spends an hour looking for medicinal plants." % self.nameif random.choice([0,1]):foundHerb = random.choice(herb_dict)print "You find some %s." % foundHerbreturn random.choice(herb_dict)else: print"%s doesn't find anything useful." % self.name

and the dict block:

herb_dict = [("Aloe Vera", Player().health == Player().health + 2),("Cannabis", Player().state == 'high'),("Ergot", Player().state == 'tripping')
]

Sorry for the clandestine examples. Herb is also a class with three parameters: (self, name, effect).

How do I generate a random herb from the dict when the collectPlants function is called?

random.choice is a method so if you want to call it you need to use () instead of []. Also to access an element in the list you need to use [] not ().

And for your case, replace the return random.choice[herb_dict("")] with return random.choice(herb_dict) can meet you need and it will randomly return an element in herb_dict.

But I think the logic of you method has some problem.

print "You find some %s." % herb.name
player.hasHerb()

The above two statements will never be executed.

Also you can use if random.choice([0, 1]): instead of if random.randint(0,1) == 1:.
