Hmm - interesting. Given that the argument of random.choice is supposed 
to be a sequence (according to the docs str, unicode, list, tuple, 
buffer, xrange), I'd expect an exception. I also predicted the the 
result if no exception was raised, and that was correct.

I will withhold further observation until others (who wish) may reply.
