Hi,
If I retrieve the hash of an integer, will it always return the same value across platforms?
This reason I ask is that I want to produce a sequence of pseudo random numbers using the random module, that I can re-create later on. So I'll need to store the seed value, but Random.seed takes a hashable object rather than an integer directly.
Which brings another question to mind. Are hashes of builtin objects in general consistent across platforms, or are they an implementation detail that could change?
TIA,
