Actually test_token_creation is the only test that resets the seed and what you have discovered is an error in that test. Anytime we set the seed to a specific value it should be reseeded when done so subsequent calls to random are not predictable. Calling random.seed() with no parameter takes pains to do the right thing. I've created a branch to fix test_token_creation. https://code.launchpad.net/~bac/launchpad/bug-891641/+merge/82544 --Brad _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
