I've never heard of an "exponential arrival distribution" and googling fails. Do you mean an exponential distribution, that describes the expected arrival times in a Poisson process? Python's "random" module has the random.expovariate function for that: http://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html If you want an actual (discrete) Poisson distribution, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution#Generating_Poisson-distributed_random_variables -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
