Could you be more specific? What's the purpose of that?

i want to use this in a helpdesk module to assign tasks randomly to users.

The ID of the model res.users is an integer. So you could load the list and select one using a python random function, see for example https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html.

But maybe you would rather use the model hr.employee to make sure you choose a real employee and not admin or sales or whatever :-)

I used the random.choice() function, but it doesn't work!!

Good point Ermin :)

Better you use some another strategy instead of random selection because you could end up with overloaded users while others with nothing to do. I suggest a round robin strategy for that
