[Numpy-discussion] weighted random choice in Python

[Alan Isaac]

It seems that there may soon be movement on this enhancement request:
http://bugs.python.org/issue18844
The API is currently under discussion.
If this decision might interact with NumPy in any way,
it would be good to have that documented now.
(See Raymond Hettinger's comment today.)

Cheers,

Doesn't look like it interacts with numpy.random. The whole enhancement
request doesn't look very interesting imho.

The whole enhancement request doesn't look very interesting imho.

Because the functionality is already in NumPy,
or because it is easily user-written?
