I've never heard of an "exponential arrival distribution" and googling
fails.  Do you mean an exponential distribution, that describes the
expected arrival times in a Poisson process?  Python's "random" module
has the random.expovariate function for that:

  http://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html

If you want an actual (discrete) Poisson distribution, see:
