Thanks for that. I think random.shuffle will be a lot of fun to use in
many ways.

Wow, that is amazingly compact. I don't have 2.6 yet, I need to focus
on the fundamentals before I start chasing the latest versions, but
after seeing your example there I've looked at a few web pages about
itertools and I'm impressed -- it's a great invention.
