Sorry this doesn't directly answer your question, but there is the random
module that is part of the standard library.

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-random.html

Not sure what method it uses, but unless you actually need those specific
methods of generating a random list it's good enough for most applications.

HTH,
