Visual Studio Code

[snippsat]

I use Visual Studio Code and the Python extension.
When I hover over "random.choices(...)" it shows, that choices is a variable.

I don't understand. Isn't it a function?

It's a method if look at source code.
Why it show a variable,is that in source there is this line choices = _inst.choices
So _inst.choices is the method,if hover over will return.

(method) def sample(
    population: Any,
    k: Any,
    *,
    counts: Any | None = None
) -> (list | Any)

Chooses k unique random elements from a population sequence.
.....

You can get to this code bye press Ctrl and click when hover over choices.
