Generate a random letter in Python

Question

Is there a way to generate random letters in Python  like random randint but for letters   The range functionality of random randint would be nice but having a generator that just outputs a random letter would be better than nothing

All previous answers are correct  if you are looking for random characters of various types  i e  alphanumeric and special characters  then here is an script that I created to demonstrate various types of creating random functions  it has three functions one for numbers  alpha- characters and special characters  The script simply generates passwords and is just an example to demonstrate various ways of generating random characters    import string import random import sys   make sure it s 3 7 or above print sys version   def create str str length       return random sample string ascii letters  str length   def create num num length       digits          for i in range num length           digits append str random randint 1  100         return digits  def create special chars special length       stringSpecial          for i in range special length           stringSpecial append random choice      amp      -    lt   gt                     return stringSpecial  print  how many characters would you like to use    DO NOT USE LESS THAN 8    str cnt   input   print  how many digits would you like to use    DO NOT USE LESS THAN 2    num cnt   input   print  how many special characters would you like to use    DO NOT USE LESS THAN 1    s chars cnt   input   password values   create str int str cnt    create num int num cnt     create special chars int s chars cnt     shuffle mix the values random shuffle password values   print  generated password is     print    join password values     Result

My overly complicated piece of code   import random  letter    random randint 1 26   if letter    1     print   a   elif letter    2      print   b   elif letter    3      print   c   elif letter    4      print   d   elif letter    5      print   e   elif letter    6      print   f   elif letter    7      print   g   elif letter    8      print   h   elif letter    9      print   i   elif letter    10      print   j   elif letter    11      print   k   elif letter    12      print   l   elif letter    13      print   m   elif letter    14      print   n   elif letter    15      print   o   elif letter    16      print   p   elif letter    17      print   q   elif letter    18      print   r   elif letter    19      print   s   elif letter    20      print   t   elif letter    21      print   u   elif letter    22      print   v   elif letter    23      print   w   elif letter    24      print   x   elif letter    25      print   y   elif letter    26      print   z     It basically generates a random number out of 26 and then converts into its corresponding letter  This could defiantly be improved but I am only a beginner and I am proud of this piece of code

Another way  for completeness    gt  gt  gt  chr random randrange 97  97   26     Use the fact that ascii  a  is 97  and there are 26 letters in the alphabet   When determining the upper and lower bound of the random randrange   function call  remember that random randrange   is exclusive on its upper bound  meaning it will only ever generate an integer up to 1 unit less that the provided value
