title: How do I randomize a list of strings with random.seed?
body: <p>So I have a list of 4 strings in Python and I want to return that list, but randomized and only up to a specific number (the variable 'players' in the code below). I CANNOT use the shuffle function, but trust me if I could, I would.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>players = raw_input('How many players? ')
  players = int(players)
  Roles = ["Role1", "Role2", "Role3", "Role4"]
  print Roles[:players]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to somehow use the random.seed() function to randomize the list. I'm really confused by this, because I thought you could only use random.seed() with numbers, not a list of strings. If anyone could help with this I would really appreciate it.</p>
