So far I get the same results under Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux
(Google App Engine). I'm particularly interested in getting the same

Hi,
Is it the case that the random module will always give the same
results if given the same seed across all configurations (e.g.,

If you need a repeatable sequence, such as for unit testing, you can

Your question is vague. Define what you mean by "same results" in this

The answer is a qualified Yes. While the core generator (currently the
Mersenne Twister algorithm) is subject to change across versions,
