Create random groups from a list easily

groups.py

import random

names = ["arbel", "liav", "yuval", "nevo", "matan", "nitzan", "gilad", "or"]
group_count = 2
groups = { group: [] for group in range(group_count) }
group_index = 0
while (len(names) != 0):
	random.shuffle(names)
	group_index = group_index%group_count
	groups[group_index].append(names.pop())
	group_index += 1
print '\n'.join(['group %d: %s'%(index, group) for index, group in groups.items()])
