Python Random Function for Payload function is not working

Question

I have one problem with random functions of python.I don't know which random function will work for this code:

name=['toffla','rebecca','toff','becca']

if (parser.getPayload().lower() == name):
                        parser.sendGroupMessage(parser.getTargetID(),"what?")

If someone input any name from these 4 names, the output should be "what?".

how to do this?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Please use 'if' with "in" operator. Because "name" is not a string. if input == name: <- always false. Because input == 'toffla' its not list. example:

>>> name = "bugra"
>>> names = ["github","bugra","turkey","developers"]
>>> name == names
False
>>> name in names
True

i hope you know!
