In a few of my projects I had this (minor) pain of having to remember which collections of elements are sets and which are [list, tuple]. It causes me to double check and have random.sample(my_set, 1)[0] in many places. 

To me this is not how I think and causes friction: conceptually, I know something is a collection and I want 1 random choice from it. Having to differentiate on sequences vs sets makes my code uglier :(

This issue is similar to https://bugs.python.org/issue37708.
