Well, what about raising an exception saying that there is no uniform distribution on this set ?...
Honestly, computing random words through __random_element_from_unrank
really is a joke....
sage: W=Words(2, 30) sage: W.random_element() <still waiting>

- Branch set to u/ncohen/12867
The new branch u/ncohen/12867 implements three random_element
for the different kinds of words that Sage supports. It also moves the ._iter_
methods where it belongs, for the set of "all words on 3 letters" is not countable and should not have an ._iter_
method (unless somebody wants to implement one for RR).
It also removes a deprecated function.

It would be better to use the new doc continuation ...:

I fixed this, as well as the broken doctests reported by the patchbot in sage/categories/modules_with_basis.py
and sage/algebras/shuffle_algebra.py
.
The first one has been fixed with Darij's help : turns out that Sage's example of a free algebra was not a free algebra (see [1]).
The second one has been fixed by building manually an element of a Shuffle Algebra instead of relying on an_element()
, which always returns 0.
Patch updated (and rebased)

comment:16 follow-up: ↓ 17 Changed 7 years ago by
- Status changed from needs_review to needs_work
Hi there,
Suggestions, tasks and questions:
0) Might be rebased for 6.2.rc0
1) Add doctest for your errors
2) The following code
self((self.alphabet()[randint(0,n-1)] for x in range(self._length)))
does not handle all cases. For example
sage: W = Words(GF(5), length=4) sage: W.random_element() KABOOM
The problem is that you really do not know what is the __getitem__
there. A possibility is
self((self.alphabet().random_element() for _ in range(self._length)))
3) What is the purpose of the commit 241a151def174f9cfa93340fd3dd2a9be1d4aa81 that modifies stuff in shuffle_algebra.py, algebras_with_basis.py, lyndon_word.py, etc?

YO !
0) Might be rebased for 6.2.rc0
Done, but there was no conflict with 6.2.rc0....
1) Add doctest for your errors
Well, this is in the branch
+ sage: W = Words(5) + sage: W.random_element() # random
What else do you expect to find ?
2) The following code
self((self.alphabet()[randint(0,n-1)] for x in range(self._length)))does not handle all cases. For example
sage: W = Words(GF(5), length=4) sage: W.random_element() KABOOMThe problem is that you really do not know what is the
__getitem__
there. A possibility isself((self.alphabet().random_element() for _ in range(self._length)))
Well, a list has no .random_element()
method. Would that work ?
Otherwise we could call list(self.alphabet())
. Or make sure self.alphabet() is a list. What do you think ?
3) What is the purpose of the commit 241a151def174f9cfa93340fd3dd2a9be1d4aa81 that modifies stuff in shuffle_algebra.py, algebras_with_basis.py, lyndon_word.py, etc?
HMmmmmm... Officially, it is to fix a bug because the current status is incorrect. I asked around and it turns out that these things are only defined on finite words. I don't even know what they are, but doctests were broken otherwise. So well. Everybody's happy this way :-P

Well... Turns out that the lists were already wrapped with something that provides a random_element
method...

You forgot to remove the "import randint" and did not test all errors... If you are happy with the public branch then set positive review.

Tests pass, and I am happy to see this fixed at last.

Tests don't pass

Because of trac #8389... The fix is apparently trivial, checking that all tests pass right now ...
