Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: I guess, Antoine wanted to point out this:
"Changed in version 2.3: MersenneTwister replaced Wichmann-Hill as the default generator." But as the paragraph points out Python did provide non default WichmanHill class for generating repeatable sequences with older python. My brief reading on this topic, does suggest that 'repeatability' is an important requirement for any PRNG. ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
