So in the mean time, are there any suggestions for what this R sample function should be called, since random.sample is apparently taken?
If you default to size=1 (which you probably should anyways), then np.random.choice() makes sense, in analogy to random.choice() from the standard library.
Alright. I can make that change tomorrow. I'd prefer np.sample in the long-run, for compatibility with R. (False friends are loathsome things.) How does one petition to get function names deprecated? -Chris JS
