What is wrong with this code?

I suspect that it is because of the numbers variable but i dont know how to fix it.

item.py 
# EXAMPLE
import random
numbers = list( from 0 to len(ite) - 1)
item_list = list(ite)
# random_item("Treehouse")
def random_item(ite):
    return item_list[random.randint(numbers)] 
# The randomly selected number is 4.
# The return value would be "h"

import random

list = ["apples", "bananas", "cows", "pears"]

# EXAMPLE
# random_item("Treehouse")
# The randomly selected number is 4.
# The return value would be "h"

def randmon_item(iterable_parameter):
    generated = random.randint(0, len(iterable_parameter))-1

    return generated

print randmon_item(list)
