The bot is not responding. What to do?

Question

Python

if message.text == " Открыть ящик":
                        bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "<b>Открывается...</b>", parse_mode="html", reply_markup=deleted)
                        time.sleep(2)
                        ListOfPrize = 'nothing', 'whybaby', 'holdik', 'fooflik', 'nver4ikk'
                        prize = random.choices(ListOfPrize, weights=(100, 40, 40, 40, 1))
                        print(prize)
                        if prize == "nothing":
                            bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Ничего')
                        if prize == "whybaby":
                            bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Вайбейби')
                        if prize == "holdik":
                            bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Холди')
                        if prize == "nver4ikk":
                            bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Нверчи')

The bot just doesn't respond. I use telebot and random.

Answer 1

You even output the contents to the console prize.
The method random.choicesreturns a list , not a single element (which choice s doesn't ).
So that

prize = random.choices(ListOfPrize, weights=(100, 40, 40, 40, 1))[0]
