python - Select n random number from a sorted list of numbers -

-

i have list of numbers in sorted order. there may gaps between consecutive numbers. wrote following code find 50k random numbers list, takes time. there efficient version this? 

def selectnrandomvalsfromalist(mylist, n):     retval = []     randomchoice = random.choice     mylistremove = mylist.remove     retvalappend = retval.append     in range(n):         value = randomchoice(mylist)         mylistremove(value)         retvalappend(value)     return(retval)    mylist = range(2000000) n =50000 selectnrandomvalsfromalist(mylist,n)

don't reinvent wheel. use random.sample:

return k length list of unique elements chosen population sequence. used random sampling without replacement.

>>> import random >>> l = range(20) >>> random.sample(l, 10) [6, 15, 13, 3, 2, 4, 14, 17, 7, 10]

-
i using tfs's team explorer manage visual studio projects. recently, i've created new java project (not in visual studio) manually added tfs using source control control explorer in visual studio. after added java project tfs, made changes , bug fixes. then, went visual studio , opened source control explorer check in changes, tfs thinks no changes made. it seems needed check out project before making changes. guess erroneously expected tfs track automatically, okay. so, using source control explorer in tfs, checked out project, , tried check in pending changes. when tried check in, got following message: all of changes either unmodified files or locks. changes have been undone server. is there way convince server indeed project has changed? how can check in changes have made? thank help.
