[FIXED] Python 3.X random.choice for object array with sub array?

Issue

Provided the object array:

textures = [
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "cement",
        "apply_to": ["wall", "basement"],
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "fabric",
        "apply_to": ["window"],
    },
    {
        "id": 3,
        "name": "brick",
        "apply_to": ["wall"],
    },
    ...
    ...
    ...
]

Suppose I wanted to pick a random object out of that array with the keyword 'wall' in that apply_to property?

So that I get either id (1,3) returned at random?

How can I use 'random.choice' or another random function to do so?

Solution

wall_textures = [texture for texture in textures if 'wall' in texture['apply_to']]
random_wall_texture = random.choice(wall_textures)

Agree that not the best way but this will let you make the choice randomly
