The original problem is to choose randomly a color from a list of colors, until all colors are used without repetition .(sort of Paint program)


alist = ('1','2','3','4','5') #"1" already exists, the others should be created one by one 

when the for loop runs.

x = 1 

###############HOW TO INSERT A VARIABLE (X=1) IN A LIST? GOOGLING THE MATTER DIDN'T GIVE ###############ANY WORKING SOLUTION.

for x in alist:
    inp = open("C:\\python_texts\\"+str(x)+".txt","r") #open an existing file "x.txt"

    outp = open("C:\\python_texts\\"+str(x + 1)+".txt","w") #write the result (of the below 'for') in a new file.

##############WHAT ALTERNATIVE TO ASIGN A NEW VALUE TO A LIST INSIDE THE LOOP?

    for line in inp:
        alist= list(line) #from a list in the file
        print alist
        c = random.choice(alist) #choose an element from the list
        print c
        alist.remove(c) #remove it
        print alist
        for a in alist:
            outp.write(a) #write the new list in "x+1.txt" file    ######<----WHAT ALTERNATIVE TO THIS?
        x = x + 1

outp.close() #close the file to be read:("C:\\python_texts\\"+str(x)+"txt","r")
inp.close() #close the file to be written :("C:\\python_texts\\"str(x + 1)+".txt","w")
