python - Easier Way to give randomized outputs?

Question

So I want to randomize an output when a program gets ran, so this is what I have.

import random
chance = random.randint(1, 5)

if chance == 1:
    # 1st Random Output
elif chance == 2:
    # 2nd Random Output

And so on. Is there a simpler way to do this instead of having a bunch of if statements?

Answer 1

you can define a function for all the if statements. put all functions into a list and use random.choice for this list. I don't know how will your if statements' bodies will be, so I'm not sure is there any other efficient way than defining all individual function. I know I couldn't give the answer you need. but maybe you can tell more about what you need and how if statements are. and sorry for my english if I've made a mistake.
