You are misunderstanding something that is fundamental in Python, namely that anything that is done inplace *ALWAYS* returns None as a warning that the operation has been done inplace, so you're never going to get anything back. All you need do is change your original code as follows:- from random import shuffle a = [1,2,3,4,5] shuffle(a) b = a[:3] print(b) Kindest regards.
