Quoting W W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The number of items I want from a list is smaller than the population (number of items) in the list, so it should work. In this specific case, I'm asking for one item from a five-item list. Are you sure? change this: for card in random.sample(SpecialA, SA):

I finally got my iterator-based version working, only to discover that it's nearly four times slower than the brute-force multiple-loops version I started with! Then I tried just adding an incrementing index to the loop, so that each loop only ran through self.events[last_index:], but that
