from Tkinter import *
import random


def randomiseString(s):
    numlist=[]
    stringOut=[]
    while (len(numlist)<len(s)):
        ## give me a list of numbers between 0 and len(s)
        ## just don't repeat and stop when i've got enough
        num=random.randrange(0, len(labelText), 1)
        if num not in numlist:
            numlist.append(num)
    for num in numlist:
        stringOut.append(s[num])
    stringOut="".join(stringOut)
    
    return stringOut




root=Tk()

labelText="Random Label"


label=Label(root, text=labelText)
label.pack()


def setText():
    label["text"]=randomiseString(label["text"])
    
b=Button(root, text="Shuffle", command=setText)
b.pack()

root.mainloop()
