Let's say:
list=["A","B","C"]
listitem = random.randint(0,2)
I typed:
print listitem
but it gives a number and I'd like a letter?
How can I do this?

You can use random :
>>> from random import choice
>>> List = [ 'A','B','C' ]
>>> choice( List )
C
>>> choice( List )
A
>>> choice( List )
B

You need to use the random index to reference the item in your list.
>>> import random
>>> list=["A","B","C"]
>>> listitem = random.randint(0,len(list))
>>> list[listitem]
'A'
>>> listitem = random.randint(0,len(list))
>>> list[listitem]
'B'
Or, if you don't care about the index, just select an item at random using the random.choice() routine:
>>> random.choice(list)
'B'
>>> random.choice(list)
'B'
>>> random.choice(list)
'A'
>>> random.choice(list)
'C'
