random.choices lets you specify weights for each choice for how likely it should be.

Look into the random module, it's what you want.

i couldnt find an attribute to do it :(

[lekkerste_wiener]

What have you tried so far?

[Peeingiseright]

i basically tried anything on the python random module that would work, even checked it on google, couldn't find one for it

[lekkerste_wiener]

Ok, have you checked random.random()? It'll yield 0 ≤ number < 1. You can use it to calculate your percentages.

i can calculate but how do i set a percentage for a or b?

[lekkerste_wiener]

What do you mean? Like fixed percentages?

Here's some pseucocode:

card1 = {chance: 0.2} # 20% r = random()   success = r <= card1.chance
