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.

+13  A: 

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

This is a really common mistake, I used to do it a lot with .reverse() and .sort()

Me too, hooray for `reversed()` and `sorted()`.
