New submission from Allen Riddell <a...@ariddell.org>:
Code to reproduce problem:
population = list(range(10))
weights = list(-1 * w for w in range(10))
[random.choices(population, weights) for _ in range(1000)]
will raise IndexError:
358 bisect = _bisect.bisect
359 total = cum_weights[-1]
--> 360 return [population[bisect(cum_weights, random() * total)] for i
in range(k)]
361
362 ## -------------------- real-valued distributions -------------------
IndexError: list index out of range
