A package for unique random selection

Project description

Unique Picker

Unique Picker is a Python package that allows you to randomly select an item from a list without repeating any item until all items in the list are covered. Once all items are selected, the list is reshuffled, and the process continues.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install unique-picker

Usage

Import the Package

import uniquePicker

How to Use

Use the choice function to randomly select an item from a list:

data_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for _ in range(10):
    print(uniquePicker.choice(data_list))

Output

The choice function ensures that:

  • No item is repeated until all items in the list are selected.
  • After all items are used, the list is reshuffled for the next cycle.

Example Output:

css


3
5
1
4
2
(all items reshuffled)
4
3
2
5
1

Features

  • Random selection without immediate repetition.
  • Automatic reshuffling after all items are covered.
  • Easy-to-use API, just like Python’s random.choice.

Code Example

Here’s a complete working example:

import uniquePicker

# Define your list
data_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'elderberry']

# Select items
print("Random selections without repeats:")
for _ in range(10):
    print(uniquePicker.choice(data_list))

How It Works

  • The unique_picker.choice function internally uses a class to manage the list and its current state.
  • It shuffles the list when all items are exhausted, ensuring fair and unique selection in cycles.
