How to format randomly sampled list elements?

I would like to get the following output:

T1: j2 
T2: j4
T3: j3
T1: j7
T2: j
T3: j6
T1: j5

I have tried it with a for loop but I am not able to do it. This is my code:

import random

team = ['t1','t2','t3']
task = ["j","j2","j3","j4","j5","j6","j7"]

print (task)
s_task = random.sample(task,len(task))
print (s_task)

for itm in team:
    for itm1 in s_task:
        print(itm,itm1)

T1: j2 
T2: j4
T3: j3
T1: j7
T2: j
T3: j6
T1: j5

If you just need a way to format your output, you could use:

Formatted string literal aka f-string (for Python 3.6 or later) like

for itm in team:
    for itm1 in s_task:
        print(f"{itm}: {itm1}")

Read more about f-strings here.

If your Python3 is lower than Python3.6, stick with str.format() and use

print("{}: {}".format(itm, itm1))

Using concatenation,

print(itm, ": ", itm1)

Using Old String formatting,

print("%s: %s"%(itm, itm1))

Using New string formating,

print("{0}: {1}".format(itm, itm1))


import random

team = ['t1','t2','t3']
task = ["j","j2","j3","j4","j5","j6","j7"]

print (task)
s_task = random.sample(task,len(task))
print (s_task)

for itm in team:
    for itm1 in s_task:
        print(itm, ": ", itm1)

T1: j2 
T2: j4
T3: j3
T1: j7
T2: j
T3: j6
T1: j5

Looks like you need itertools.cycle and random.choice

Ex:

import random
from itertools import cycle
team = ['t1','t2','t3']
task = ["j","j2","j3","j4","j5","j6","j7"]


team = cycle(team)
for _ in range(len(task)):
    print("{}: {}".format(next(team), random.choice(task)))

Output:

t1: j5
t2: j5
t3: j
t1: j7
t2: j6
t3: j7
t1: j3

You can use string.format():

import random

team = ['t1','t2','t3']
task = ["j","j2","j3","j4","j5","j6","j7"]

print (task)
s_task = random.sample(task,len(task))
print (s_task)

for itm in team:
    for itm1 in s_task:
        print("{}: {}".format(itm,itm1))

This should print in yout required format
