I concur with Antoine.  A list comprehension is the standard, obvious idiom for making a list from repeated function calls.  

Putting sampling without replacement in its own method makes the operation more opaque than a plain list comprehension (which doesn't need documentation to be clear about how many calls are made, what the output type is, its relationship to random.choice, whether k can be larger than the population, etc).
