I guess on actual inspection of the code (which I should have done before, sorry) it's obvious why this happens: u ** (1.0 / alpha) will round to 0.0 for small values of u, and the smaller alpha is the higher the probability of that happening, in that it happens with probability c ** alpha for some c. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41421> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
