Error with recursion from call "random.shuffle()"

Im trying to create a very simple blackjack game, and I think I’m almost done, but when I try to play the game I get an error:

I’m very frustarated with this, it seems to be coming from the populate method in the deck class specifically the random.shuffle() call. But I cannot figure out why it’s creating a recursion error.
