This will return an empty list regardless of the type of passed in object.
The only possible difference is a subclassed list but if its been well
implemented you shouldn't care! I'd just go with:

rpile = []

Its usual in Python to omit the first 0

for x in  range(i):

is all that's needed.

Otherwise it looks OK to me.

You might be able to leverage the stdlib more effectively, for
example there is a shuffle type menthod for randomising a
single list. And zip() to merge two lists...
