New submission from Roy Smith <r...@panix.com>: The docs don't say what happens if you call random.sample() with a population smaller than k. Experimentally, it raises ValueError, but this should be documented.
I would have guessed it would return IndexError, by analogy to random.choice(). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 164742 nosy: docs@python, roysmith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: random.sample() docs unclear on k < len(population) type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15265> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
