"""
This is a pure Python implementation of the bozosort algorithm.

Bozosort chooses two elements at random and swaps them. It does
this repeatedly until the list is sorted.

For more info, check "Bozosort": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort#Related_algorithms

For doctests run following command:
python -m doctest -v bozo_sort.py
or
python3 -m doctest -v bozo_sort.py

For manual testing run:
python bozo_sort.py
