Mark Dickinson added the comment: Serhiy: there's already a small bias inherent in using `int(random() * n)`, regardless of double rounding, since in general `random()` gives 2**53 equally likely (modulo deficiencies in the source generator) outcomes and `n` need not be a divisor of `2**53`. I don't think the double rounding is going to make that bias noticeably worse.
See issue 23974, which was resolved as "wont fix". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24567> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
