Hi!
A shorter version for the code fragment above:

#statlist= ['str', 'dex', 'con', 'int', 'wis', 'cha']
stats= {'str': 0, 'dex': 0, 'con': 0, 'int': 0, 'wis': 0, 'cha': 0}
 
def MakeStats():
    for stat in stata.keys():
        stats[stat]= random.randint(3, 18)
        print stat, ':', stats[stat]


So the list statlist is not needed. Of course if you plan to add other
keys to the stats vocabulary, it may be a practical way to keep the
statlist to know which values have to be randomized.
