I'd presume you could get any shuffle (in case you really cared) by calling random.shuffle repeatedly and reseeding the prng in between.

But how are you going to reseed the prng? To get an equal likelihood of any shuffle, you need another prng with a big enough state to generate seeds for your first prng. But then you might just as well shuffle based on that larger prng in the first place. -- Greg
