Hi, We are making a prototype program in Python. I discovered the output was non-deterministic, i.e. I rerun the program on the same input files and get different output files. We do not use any random calls, nor threading.
One of us thought it could be set and dictionaries not always yielding the same results. I, however, would think that given the exact same operations, a set/dictionary would always yield the same results. Am I correct? Or could different runs of the same program yield different results due to, say, different memory locations? Are there any other sources of randomness we ought to look out for?
