Examples

Take one random sample:

>>> from iteration_utilities import random_product
>>> import random
>>> random.seed(70)

>>> random_product(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [0.5, 0.25])
('a', 2, 0.25)

Or take multiple samples:

>>> random.seed(10)
>>> random_product(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [0.5, 0.25], repeat=5)
('a', 2, 0.25, 'a', 1, 0.25, 'b', 2, 0.5, 'a', 2, 0.25, 'a', 1, 0.25)
>>> random.seed(None)
