Step one, get some random numbers:

Code:
>>> import random
>>> random_generator = random.Random()
>>> 
>>> random_generator.randint(0, 10)
4
>>>


Step two, store and pick some random messages:

Code:
>>> messages = ['Hello',
'Message1',
'Message2' ]
>>>
>>> tmp = random_generator.randint(0, len(messages)-1)
>>> print messages[tmp]
'Message1'

Or you could use the choice function:
Code:
import random
messages = ['Hello', 'World', 'Happy', 'Christmas']

print random.choice(messages)
