random.choices()
random.choices() is a Python function in the Random Module category. Returns a list of k random elements with optional weights (allows duplicates). The syntax is random.choices(population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1). Parameters: population, k. Returns: List of k elements. A typical example: random.choices(["a","b"], k=3) # ["a","b","a"]. A close sibling is random.random(), which returns a random float in the range [0.0, 1.0). A close sibling is random.randint(), which returns a random integer N such that a <= N <= b. A close sibling is random.choice(), which returns a random element from a non-empty sequence. A close sibling is random.sample(), which returns a list of k unique elements chosen without replacement.
