New submission from Jakub Mateusz Kowalski: In https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html#random.seed I can find that "If a hashable object is given, deterministic results are only assured when PYTHONHASHSEED is disabled."
Both int and long are hashable. However, tests on the random module as well as C source code of random_seed (as indicated in http://stackoverflow.com/a/41228062/4879688) suggest that behaviour of the module is deterministic when seeded with an integer. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 283686 nosy: Jakub.Mateusz.Kowalski, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Results of random.seed() call with integer argument should be claimed deterministic. versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29023> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
