Can you describe more about your use-case for this?
You can already do something like this now with something like the following:
def random_subset(sequence):
source = random.randbytes(len(sequence))
return [x for x, r in zip(sequence, source) if r & 1]
You could add a random.shuffle() call at the end if your application needs it.
For the case with counts, you could do getrandbits(i).bit_count() to get a
binomial distribution to choose how many of each element to include.
