Your code is very nice showing how to implement Dirichlet straight from the formula. I ve also tried to experiment it calling scipy.stats.dirichlet library instead. It worked well but we needed to change the tolerance of the xy2bc generator from 1e-4 to 1e-9. Otherwise the assertion of the library code _multivariate.py wont let us to run.
if (np.abs(np.sum(x, 0) - 1.0) > 10e-10).any():
raise ValueError("The input vector 'x' must lie within the normal "
"simplex. but np.sum(x, 0) = %s." % np.sum(x, 0))
