Description (last modified by Matt Boersma)

Python's standard library since 2.3 has had random.sample for choosing random elements of a sequence. In contrib/auth/models.py, the implementor was unaware of this and wrote a bit more code than needed.

I changed the title and description to be clearer, and updated it to Django-SVN, since 0.96 won't get patched for this, and it's still there in trunk.

random.sample samples without replacement. The existing code is equivalent to sampling with replacement.
