Cannot shuffle list in Python

Question

This is my list:

biglist = [ {'title':'U2','link':'u2.com'}, {'title':'beatles','link':'beatles.com'} ]
print random.shuffle(biglist)

that doesn't work! It returns none.

Answer 1

random.shuffle shuffles the list, it does not return a new list. So check biglist, not the result of random.shuffle.
