Assuming you're on Python 3.6 or newer, you should be able to use
random.choices() for this.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.choices

>>> random.choices("spam", [10, 1, 3, 2])
['a']

You can get any of the four letters back, but you're more likely to
get 's' than anything else. Is that the sort of thing you're after?
