Sounds like you want to make a custom template tag that uses
random.choice() to make the choice for you. I haven't tested the
code below, but it's a starting point for what you describe:
from random import choice
from django import template
from django.template import resolve_variable
class RandomChoiceNode(template.Node):
def __init__(self, *choices):
self.choices = choices
def render(self, context):
try:
which = choice(self.choices)
result = resolve_variable(which, context)
return result
except template.VariableDoesNotExist:
return ''

Fiddle accordingly.
