Grid plotting in Python with coordinates and a map image

I'm fairly new to using python and I'm seeking help on a small project I'm working on.



So firstly I want to make a 10x10 grid out of coordinates and then add a loop function that can randomly pick a cell and somehow store the cell coordinates it has picked without selecting the same cell twice.



So far I have come up with this.



x = 1
y = 1

scale = 10

nn =

for x in range(1,scale+1):
mm =
for y in range(1,scale+1):
xy = [x,y]
mm.append(xy)
#print(xy)
y=+1
nn.append(mm)
x=+1

Out:[[[1, 1],
[1, 2],
[1, 3],
[1, 4],
[1, 5],
[1, 6],
etc


The next part is where I'm struggling.



import random
r = random.randint(1,10)
x = 1
y = r

xy = [x,y]
print(xy)
while x < 10:

# direction North=1, East=2, South=3
if y == 1:
dir = [random.randint(0,1),random.randint(0,1)]
elif y == 10:
dir = [random.randint(0,1),random.randint(-1,0)]
else:
dir = [random.randint(0,1),random.randint(-1,1)]

xy = [(a + b) for (a, b) in zip(xy, dir)]

x = xy[0]
y = xy[1]

if xy == [(a + b) for (a, b) in zip(xy, dir)]:
pass
else:
print(xy)


Eventually I would like to plot the coordinates onto a grid and then put a map image over the grid.



This is my first question so please excuse mistakes and code quotes.
Thanks in advance

    I'm not completely following how each code block relates to each other. What I think you're looking for is a set. docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#sets . On each loop, check the set if the new value exists. if not, add it, else try again.

From my understanding, you're trying to get non repetitive random sample from a grid of coordinates, This can be done much more easily like this:



import random
grid = [(x,y) for x in range(10) for y in range(10)] # grid points
randomset = random.sample(grid, 5) # get 5 random element from grid


Result:



>>> randomset
[(6, 6), (4, 7), (7, 7), (1, 7), (0, 3)] # each coordinate will be unique.
