Leo <dontsendleos...@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks for the suggestions "random.sample(s, 1)[0]" and "x=next(iter(s))".
A counterpoint: isn't this a classic example of where polymorphism enables a more elegant, simple, and clear (dare I say Pythonic) approach? The complexity of allowing sets as inputs, even with a naive implementation, is still O(n) even in the worst case vs. O(1) for arrays. Isn't documenting that distinction good enough?
