random.choice returns the same value

[Brian]

Any reason why random.choice would return the first value in a list
everytime?

Any reason why random.choice would return the first value in a list
everytime?

Because the list only has one element, or all the elements have the same
value?

Code sample so we don't have to guess?

Feel free to point and laugh. I guess it was getting a little too late.

I was doing something like this where ComedyList and SciFiList are
populated lists:

filelist = []

if var = "SciFi":
filelist = SciFiList
elif var = "Comedy":
filelist = ComedyList


I forgot to add the [:] at the end. I am the win.
