New submission from Wolfgang Rohdewald: The documentation promises backwards compatible seeders. I understand this as such that they generate the same random sequences. But for Python 2.7.12 and 3.5.2 this is not so, even if I pass an integer as seed value. The attached script returns different values.
Maybe I misunderstand the documentation - I believe it means that seed(version=1) uses the backwards compatible seeder, but it does not say so explicitly. If that is not so, the documentation does not say how to invoke the backwards compatible seeder. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: r.py messages: 272506 nosy: wrohdewald priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Random.seed(5, version=1) generates different values in PYthon2 and Python3 versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44082/r.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
