Example program: import random random.seed(42) for i in range(10): print random.random() At the start of the program, the random number generator is seeded with 42. This could be any number, but the point is that it doesn't change when you run the program again. As a result, the output is the same every time you run the program. If you choose a different seed, you get different results from random.random(). If you don't use random.seed(), the random module uses the current time as the seed. Since the current time always changes, the program will generate different output each time it runs. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
