Creating new distributions in scipy

I'm trying to create a distribution based on some data I have, then draw randomly from that distribution. Here's what I have:

from scipy import stats
import numpy

def getDistribution(data):
    kernel = stats.gaussian_kde(data)
    class rv(stats.rv_continuous):
        def _cdf(self, x):
            return kernel.integrate_box_1d(-numpy.Inf, x)
    return rv()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # pretend this is real data
    data = numpy.concatenate((numpy.random.normal(2,5,100), numpy.random.normal(25,5,100)))
    d = getDistribution(data)

    print d.rvs(size=100) # this usually fails

I think this is doing what I want it to, but I frequently get an error (see below) when I try to do d.rvs(), and d.rvs(100) never works. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier or better way to do this? If it's a bug in scipy, is there some way to get around it?

Finally, is there more documentation on creating custom distributions somewhere? The best I've found is the scipy.stats.rv_continuous documentation, which is pretty spartan and contains no useful examples.

The traceback:
