title: Select an item from a set in Python
body: <p>I am looking to select one item from a set. It does not matter which item it is, but I want it to be the same item every time the function is called.</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I had the set:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_set = set(["ABC","ABC inc", "ABC ltd"])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I want to return any one of those, but the same one whenever the function is run. [i.e. so I would always get "ABC", or always get "ABC inc" whenever I ran with the above set.] If I was using lists, I would just take the first item, but sets don't have a first per se.</p>
  
  <p>This is in contrast to selecting randomly [e.g. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1262955/how-do-i-pick-2-random-items-from-a-python-set">How do I pick 2 random items from a Python set?</a> ] where it will change every time it is run.</p>
