BUG: cannot use random.choice on index in python 3.11.0 #60743
Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import random
import pandas as pd
df=pd.DataFrame([[0,1],[2,3]])
random.choice(df.index)Issue Description
This code produces the ValueError shown below. When I use python 3.10.x or 3.11.10, the error does not occur. I don't understand why the behavior would be different for Python 3.11.0.
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[3], line 5

3192 "Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all()."
3193 )
ValueError: The truth value of a RangeIndex is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().
Expected Behavior
Should not raise an error
