python - Biased coin flipping? -

-

what simplest (does not have fastest) way biased random choice between true , false in python? "biased", mean either true or false more probable based on probability set.

it's pretty easy and fast:

import random  def biased_flip(prob_true=0.5):     return random.random() < prob_true

of course if call biased_flip() you'll true , false 50% probability each, e.g biased_flip(0.8) give 8 trues each false in long run.
