Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: paul rubin (phr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: random.sample can raise KeyError Initial Comment: I have only tested this in 2.3 and the relevant code in random.py has changed in the current svn branch, but from inspection it looks to me like the bug may still be there. If you initialize a dictionary as follows: a={}.fromkeys(range(10)+range(10,100,2)+range(100,110)) then random.sample(a,3) raises KeyError most times that you call it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1460340&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
