Question

In python write a module named randStr.py that has 3 functions. Each function has an optional second parameter to set a particular seed.

1) randWord accepts a string and will return a random word from that string (return value is string).
2) strMixer will randomly change words inside the string and returns a string
-- If the string is only one word, then it will mix the letters of the word and return the mixed word as a string
3) randIntForWord accepts a word and then returns a random integer between 0 and 100,000; the same word should return the same random integer.

Import the 3 functions in the main file and call each of them 5 times (with and without seed).

If the module is called directly, print the following message:
"Sorry, but this module can only be imported!"

(Note, you can add a second file to a project by clicking on the document above the line number on the left side)
