How to random sample a 2-parameter weibull distribution in python

Question

I was wondering how to generate a random weibull distribution with 2-parameter (lambda, k) in python. I know that numpy has a numpy.random.weibull, but it only accepts the <

Answer 1

Well, if you sample a number from weibull distribution with scale parameter missing (which assumes scale is equal to 1), then to get it scale multiply by lambda.

x = numpy.random.weibull(a)
return lambda*x
