I think the thing we can fix is the automatic set support which is intrinsically broken with respect to reproducibility and which was likely not a good idea to begin with (because it adds an implicit and possibly unexpected O(n) conversion step and because it doesn't make the API for choice()). If someone converts a set to a list or tuple upstream from sample(), there isn't much we can do about it. That wouldn't be much different from list(s)[0] giving different output from run to run. That is a general FAQ and would apply to just about anything that takes a sequence or iterator to run. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40325> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
