Hi, First of all, my thanks to all of you who replied. I am writing a gamble simulation to convince my friend that his "winning strategy" doesn't work. I use shuffle method from a random.SystemRandom instance to shuffle 8 decks of cards.
As the number of cards is quite small (number of cards is 416), the nonuniformity doesn't matter as most of you have already said. Just to avoid argument from my friend, I am considering writing my own randint and shuffle methods based on os.urandom() though. -tooru honda -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
