This tests that a specific shuffle result is obtained (which is an implementation specific detail subject to change).  An alternate possible test would just check to see that all the inputs are present in the output.

Changed the test to assertCountEqual which will check that all the inputs are present and equal in the output.

Okay, this looks fine.  I'll apply it within a few days.

I've just looked at the existing tests for random.shuffle() and found that they already cover this case and do a much more thorough job.  The suggested patch doesn't add anything.   Sorry, I'm going to close this one -- there isn't any problem being solved.
