I know that Python has iterator methods called "sorted" and "reversed" and these are handy shortcuts.
Why not add a new iterator method called "shuffled"? >>> for x in shuffled(range(5)): >>> print x >>> 3 >>> 1 >>> 2 >>> 0 >>> 4 Currently, a person has to do the following because random.shuffle() does not return the actual shuffled list. It is verbose. >>> import random >>> x = range(5) >>> random.shuffle(x) >>> for x in x: >>> print x
