Is there a better way of doing this?

Revision to this new code:

def get_roulette_wheel(weight_value_pairs):
   return [[value]*weight for weight, value in weight_value_pairs]

def selection(fitness, population):
   ...
   rw = get_roulette_wheel(fap)
   for i in range(len(fap)):
       selected_population.append(choice(rw))
   return selected_population

Cheers,
Chris
