How do I create a list of random numbers without duplicates?

Question

I tried using random.randint(0, 100), but some numbers were the same. Is there a method/module to create a list unique random numbers?

You can use the shuffle function from the random module like this:

import random

my_list = list(xrange(1,100)) # list of integers from 1 to 99
                              # adjust this boundaries to fit your needs
random.shuffle(my_list)
print my_list # <- List of unique random numbers

Note here that the shuffle method doesn't return any list as one may expect, it only shuffle the list passed by reference.
