Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment: There's nothing in the docs I can see that implies `sample(x, n)` is a prefix of what `sample(x, n+1)` would have returned had the latter been called instead. If so, then - as always - it's "at your own risk" when you rely on behaviors that haven't been specified. Since the universe of _possible_ behaviors that haven't been specified is immense, I'd rather we didn't even start to list all of them ;-)
Seriously, when the docs don't promise something, it's usually a mistake to assume they just forgot to mention it. I'd leave the docs alone in this case. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33114> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
