(I am using Python under Mac OS)
Hey Guys,
i am looking for a way to random generate a letter (a-z) and then keystroke it. The way I usually do keystrokes is:
cmd = “”” osascript -e ‘tell application ‘System Events’ to keystroke “insert_letter_here”‘ “””
os.system(cmd)
This won’t accept random.letter since it would keystroke the exact spelling of random.letter.
Does anyone know a way to first generate a random letter and then keystroke it?
Thanks in advance!

There are many ways to achieve this, but here is one:
import random, string, keyboard random_letter = random.choice(string.ascii_letters) keyboard.write(random_letter)
The random letter can be both lower and upper case in this example because string.ascii_letters returns:
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
(you may have to pip install the keyboard library)
