Re: [Numpy-discussion] selecting random array element

[Alan G I. <ai...@am...>]

At http://www.american.edu/econ/pytrix/pytrix.py find
def permute(x):
=09'''Return a permutation of a sequence or array.

=09:note: Also consider numpy.random.shuffle
=09       (to permute *inplace* 1-d arrays)
=09'''
        x =3D numpy.asarray(x)
=09xshape =3D x.shape
=09pidx =3D numpy.random.random(x.size).argsort()
=09return x.flat[pidx].reshape(xshape)

Note the note.  ;-)
