New submission from Johnny Dude <johnny.d...@gmail.com>:
When using a tuple that include a string the results are not consistent when
invoking a new interpreter or process.
For example executing the following on a linux machine will yield different
results:
python3.6 -c 'import random; random.seed(("a", 1)); print(random.random())"
Please note that the doc string of random.seed states: "Initialize internal
state from hashable object."
Python documentation does not.
(https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/random.html#random.seed)
This is very confusing, I hope you can fix the behavior, not the doc string.
