[New-bugs-announce] [issue46190] Omit k in random.sample()

[Tilman Krummeck]

New submission from Tilman Krummeck <tilman.krummeck at googlemail.com>:

random.sample can be used to choose k items from a given sequence. Currently, k is a mandatory parameter. 

I suggest to make k optional and instead, if omitted, pick a random value from the range of 0 and the length of the sequence.

Of course, doing this must also consider any possible value of 'count'
