To be clear, I am not using multi-threading in my particular module. I
can't explain this behavior with my code alone. The issue is
complicated by the fact that my module is called by Civ IV, and I have
no idea what the game is doing behind the scenes. I

Attaching the whole file isn't a step in the right direction. The
preferred approach is to isolate the problem as tightly as possible.
This report is dubious because, I can't get the following to fail:
from random import seed, randint
seed('mystart')
Rich Marinaccio added the comment:
What was happening before was I was getting an index out of range error
every so often, so then I put in the ValueError catch to see what was
going on. I was surprised to see that randIndex was the same as len
(preshuffle). I have some further catches in
Rich Marinaccio added the comment:
I've done some more testing and I can't get this to repeat with randint
alone. It must be an issue with combination of the len() function used
as a parameter to randint. The above code is in a loop that further
down will del preshuffle[randIndex]. Could this

I have been using python for Civilization IV map scripting, and I

have seen this behavior a few times. Here is the
