If the number of records you need to choose randomly between is not huge, this works fine:

`User.objects.order_by('?').first()`

You only need turn to use a special function or method if your query takes more than a microsecond to return, or you have a ton of traffic. i.e. use the ORM for random choices with caution.

If you just want a random user, you could just use random.choice(). You can use it in shell, in a function or wherever you want.

 

Example:

 

import random

users = User.objects.all() #a list of all users

random_user = random.choice(users) #a random user
