Are there any alternatives for the python module "random's shuffle function" in micropython?

I am currently learning micropython. I know that in python, you can use the “random” module to shuffle a list.
Furthermore, I was wondering if there's any similar function for that in micropython as well, because in the “urandom” module, that function does not exist.

Any help is appreciated!

micropython can be compiled to have a randrange method available, this can be used to implement the Fisher–Yates shuffle. This is a relatively efficient in-place shuffle and can be expressed as:

from random import randrange

def shuffle(array):
    "Fisher–Yates shuffle"
    for i in range(len(array)-1, 0, -1):
        j = randrange(i+1)
        array[i], array[j] = array[j], array[i]
