[Python-ideas] Allow random.choice, random.sample to work on iterators

[Random832]

Currently these functions fail if the supplied object has no len().
There are algorithms for this task that can work on any finite iterator
(for example, files as a stream of lines), and the functions could fall
back to these if there is no len().
