I would be very grateful for your help finding those dicussions! I've tried this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=python+%22Reservoir+sampling%22+rhettinger and found this discussion: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-April/039708.html but if I've missed any I'm keen to know. In my pull request reservoir sampling is only used if 2k>=n, so it makes at most twice as many random requests as any other algorithm. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
