You want random.choice

random.choice(['+', '-'])

Or more concisely:

random.choice('+-')

Thanks i am doing my GCSE great help

there are several ways to do this but the best is using random.choice for random symbols or random.radiant for numbers Eg.

import random
Num1=random.radiant(1,12) #random number one
Num2=random.radiant(1.12) #random number two
sym=random.choice(['+','/','*'.'-']) #random symbol
