This could be better:
>>> import random >>> population = range(10) >>> choice = random.choice(population) >>> population.remove(choice) >>> print population >>> print population [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9] That was my idea with the previous pop(), remove from the population a certain number of elements at random. In the docs pop is defined as: Remove and return an arbitrary element from the set. My mistake: arbitrary is not the same as random :( Mario -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
