[issue46190] Omit k in random.sample()

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

If all you want is a sample where k==1, then use choice().  That is clearer and more efficient.  

The sample() function is for sampling without replacement which only makes sense when k > 1; otherwise, choice() or choices() is usually what you want.
