Creating Serendipity with Python

If you want to assign people to groups randomly, why not just something like:

  import random
  import numpy

  people = [...]
  min_size = 3

  random.shuffle(people)
  groupings = numpy.array_split(people,len(people)//min_size)

Correcte if I'm wrong but the post was about determining the number of groups and their size, not actually assigning people to them.

The article starts with "We've been experimenting with breaking up employees into random groups (of size 4)." How does stopping at a list of group sizes (numbers) help you do that?
