Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Hmm. I hadn't considered the reproducibility problem.
Does the module aim for reproducibility across all platforms *and* all versions of Python? Or just one of those? For small n, I think the patched version of randrange(n) produces the same sequence as before with very high probability, but not with certainty. Since that sounds like a recipe for hard-to-find bugs, it might be better to deliberately perturb the outputs somehow so that the sequence is obviously different from before, rather than subtly different. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
