Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Ok, it's simple really. When seeding from something else than an integer, seed() takes the hash of the object (instead of considering all its bytes, which might be considered a weakness since you lose entropy -- also, Python hash() is not supposed to be cryptographically strong). The hash is different in 32-bit and 64-bit mode (although the lower 32 bits are the same, at least for a bytes object), and since all the bits are taken into account the initial state is different.
So the easy workaround for the OP is to seed with an integer rather a bytes object. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7889> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
