Comment(by ericfode):

 This also does not work if you have different sized items in the array.
 For example
 [(1,2), 2, (2,2)]
 This is because the shuffle routine assumes that all items are slice-able
 if the first item in the array is.
 Additionally, if the first item is not slice-able (len(item) = 0) it
 assumes all of the items are NOT slice-able and does not explicitly copy
 them.
