I know how to seed and generate random numbers using: numpy.random.seed and numpy.random.rand
The problem is the seeding of the random numbers is global which I would think would make it non-thread safe as well as having all the other annoyances of global state like having so set the seed and set it back when done. I would think the ideal would be to be able to build random number objects where each has a seed so that each object's seed is independent. Does such a thing exist in numpy or scipy. Does this even make sense to people? Is there something about random number generation that makes it inherently a global thing? --Tom _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
