    \$\begingroup\$ This is a quine-like challenge, without input or reading your source code (suppose it is n characters long), you need to print n random characters. Where the probability of a symbol c being chosen is equal to (number of times c occurs in your solution) / n. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 16:05
  • \$\begingroup\$ So more like this? exec("""s = 'from random import choice; print "".join([choice(s) for c in s])'; exec(s)""") \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 16:23
  • \$\begingroup\$ You haven't included the single quotes yet, and you don't need the square brackets within the join. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 16:36
  • \$\begingroup\$ Thanks - and right, I got a little caught up in the rush of nudging closer to the solution \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 16:37

    \$\begingroup\$ Here you go: s='''from random import*;print"".join(choice(s)for c in s+"s='';''exec s''")''';exec s. I wish I'd thought of that. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 8, 2016 at 16:41
