title: "sample larger than population" in random.sample python
body: <p>creating a simple pass generator for myself, i noticed that if i want my population to be digits only (0-9) which is overall 10 options, if i want my length over 10, it wont use any of the digits more then once and return the "sample larger then population" error.</p>
  
  <p>is it possible to maintain the code, but add/reduce code lines so it works? or do i HAVE To use a use random choice?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import string
  import random
  
  z=int(raw_input("for: \n numbers only choose 1, \n letters only choose 2, \n letters and numbers choose 3, \n for everything choose 4:"))
  
  if z==1:
      x=string.digits
  elif z==2:
      x=string.letters
  elif z==3:
      x=string.letters+string.digits
  elif z==4:
      x=string.letters+string.digits+string.punctuation
  else:
      print "die in a fire"
  
  y=int(raw_input("How many passwords would you like?:"))
  v=int(raw_input("How long would you like the password to be?:"))
  
  for i in range(y):
      string=""
      for n in random.sample(x,v):
          string+=n
      print string
  </code></pre>
