I've got a vector length n of integers (some of them are repeating),
and I got a selection probability vector of the same length. How will
I sample with replacement k (<=n) values with the probabilty vector.
In Matlab this function is randsample. I couldn't find anything to
this extent in Scipy or Numpy.

Disclaimer: I just cooked it up and just cooked up binary searches
usually have bugs. They usually need to be exercised and fixed. But I
think you get the idea. Note also that division differs in Py3 and Py2.
This is coded for Py3.
Sorry, I realized this just now: the name "p" in the choice() method is utterly
misleading, which you can see from the call; it's a random number not a
probability. I guess my fingers just repeated what they typed earlier.
Cheeers,
