Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: The latest patch has the disadvantage that it'll often change the behaviour of jumpahead for people on 32-bit platforms, which may lead to unnecessary breakage.
Here's a better version that only fixes mt[0] in the unlikely (but possible) event that mt[1] through mt[623] are all zero. That should mean that users on 32-bit machines who are depending on jumpahead being reproducible won't notice (unless they're very unlucky indeed). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25268/random_jumpahead_3.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
