This is what happens with your weights: >>> list(itertools.accumulate(weights)) [1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4] using bisect.bisect certain amount of times, will distribute on this: a<1<b<2<c<1<d<2<e<3<f<4<g random numbers between 1 and 2 will go to 1<'b'<2 and not 'd' that is also 1<'d'<2 As discussed in issue31689, if no negative weights should be used, then a ValueError exception should be re-concidered. ---------- nosy: +aldwinaldwin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
