Raymond Hettinger <[email protected]> added the comment:
The hypothesis that time.time() is returning NaN doesn't match the provided
traceback. If time.time() had returned NaN, the exception would have happened
earlier, on line 113 in random.py: long(time.time() * 256)
I'm wondering if the NaN arises in the C code for random():
random_random(RandomObject *self)
{
unsigned long a=genrand_int32(self)>>5, b=genrand_int32(self)>>6;
return PyFloat_FromDouble((a*67108864.0+b)*(1.0/9007199254740992.0));
}
Upstream from that, only integers are used, so this would be the earliest a NaN
could arise when running the code in choice(): ``return seq[int(self.random()
* len(seq))]``
