[Python] How to call functions in a random order

I have a large number of functions in a sequence (named Q1, Q2, Q3...Q1020), and I want to call 8 functions randomly from a user-defined range: the smallest range would be 8, and the largest range would be over 1000. Newbie.

To call a random function, I tried generating a random number, then constructing the name of the function, then calling it. I get this error message:

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
​

def Q6 ():
x = 3
return x

a = "Q"
b = "6"
my_function = a + b
my_function()


And this:

a = "Q"
b = "6"
my_function = a + b
call_function = print (my_function)
call_function ()


I have done this successfully in other languages using printf, but I don't know how to do it in Python.

# Make the name of the function.
callRandomFunction=$(printf "Q%d\n" $randomQuestion)

# Call the function.
$callRandomFunction
