FWIW, we've already documented a clean way to do it, https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.shuffle , "To shuffle an immutable sequence and return a new shuffled list, use sample(x, k=len(x)) instead." >>> data = 'random module' >>> ''.join(sample(data, len(data))) 'uaemdor odmln' Given that we already have shuffle() and sample(), I really don't think we need a third way to it. How about we save API extensions for ideas that add genuine new, useful capabilities.
