     if randval > perc:
         EMPTY <= you don't need the lines like this, they don't do anything
         return EMPTY
And you can test for less-than-or-equal in one test
     elif randval <= perc:
         return PERSON
in fact since one of the tests has to be true you can just use else:
     if randval > perc:
         return EMPTY
     else:
         return PERSON
