[New-bugs-announce] [issue5986] Avoid reversed() in Random.shuffle()

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

reversed(xrange(1, len(x))) is inefficient, xrange(len(x) - 1, 0, -1) 
gives exactly the same sequence but avoid reversed(). See attached 
patch. Don't expect amazing speedup.
