I am new to python and still learning.

I am just playing around with small scripts I am creating for fun to learn, here is what I got.

from selenium import webdriver
import time
import random

driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\16239\\youtubebot\\chromedriver")


videos = [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAdbTDTDFc"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2wemVUQnc"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8fODOFiBq0"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmgT01e1sGQ"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eqEuBp3jJw"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09IRNL2TsHM"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUIugt-GsbY"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqlBwWX218s"
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrKafd3U4TY"
]

random_video = random.randint(0,8)
sleep_time = random.randint(60,120)

for i in range(7000):
    print("Running the Video for {} time".format(i))
    driver.get(videos[random_video])
    time.sleep(sleep_time)

    driver.quit()

the issue is when I run it I am getting the error.

driver.get(videos[random_video])
IndexError: list index out of range

I have 9 in the videos list and the random_video variable is calling 0 - 8 and I cant figure out the error. please help

There is no comma , at the end of video URL in your videos list.

videos = [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAdbTDTDFc",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2wemVUQnc",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8fODOFiBq0",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmgT01e1sGQ",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eqEuBp3jJw",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09IRNL2TsHM",

you did not separate the videos with , python thinks it only has 1 element

videos = [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAdbTDTDFc",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2wemVUQnc",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8fODOFiBq0",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmgT01e1sGQ",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eqEuBp3jJw",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09IRNL2TsHM",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUIugt-GsbY",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqlBwWX218s",

]

by the way, randint is (inclusive, exclusive) so the last video will never be picked AND you format the number of iteration not the time like you are looking to do.
