Hi all, I am new to Sympy. Going through the tutorial, I tried to do the exercise at http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/simplification.html#example-continued-fractions I noticed that the results were not what I expected, so after exploring a little bit, it seems that the following is happening:
>>> import random >>> l = [1,2,3,4,5] >>> random.shuffle(l) >>> l [5,3,2,4,1] >>> l [2,4,1,3,5] >>> l [5,3,2,1,4] >>> l [3,5,2,4,1] >>> l [2,3,4,1,5] It looks as though l is getting continuously shuffled in-place... So, my questions are: 1. What can explain this behavior? 2. Is this a particular issue with my environment? I am running chrome 49.0.2623.112 on Windows Vista, which is rather old... If it is a general issue then the example in the tutorial doesn't work, unless I missed something...
