New subject: About adding a new iterator method called "shuffled"

24 Mar 2009

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
