[FIXED] How to count percentile of distribution in python

Issue

Is there any python/numpy function that calculates n-th percentile of given probability distribution?

# Like This
distr = [.2, .6, .2]
do_some_magic(distr, 50)  # 1
distr = [.1, .1, .6, .2]
do_some_magic(distr, 50)  # 2

Solution

Yes, you can use scipy's percentileofscore.

from scipy.stats import percentileofscore

distr = [.2, .6, .2]

print(percentileofscore(distr,50)/100)
