[New-bugs-announce] [issue18844] allow weights in random.choice

[Alan Isaac]

New submission from Alan Isaac:

The need for weighted random choices is so common that it is addressed as a "common task" in the docs:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/random.html

This enhancement request is to add an optional argument to random.choice, which must be a sequence of non-negative numbers (the weights) having the same length as the main argument.
