Are you serious? The reason for "we don't need standardization" == "there is a solution, long, and with a lot of special characters". Holy c***. I remember Python being the least verbose language on the planet. I suspect this argument didn't lead to status quo. It's like saying, we don't need variable annotations because we have comments.

Naive shuffled() can be emulated using a single expression:
sorted(lst, key=lambda _: random())
So there's even less incentive for standardization.
Besides being a silly argument, it's an interesting solution. Does it really work? I remember Microsoft utilizing a similar approach for their browser selection tool which led to a skewed probability distribution. Maybe, I wrong here though. Cheer, Sven
