Just store a mapping between levels and seeds:
levels = {} # starts out blank
Now, each time you enter a level, see if there is a seed recorded, and if
so, use that. Here I assume each level has a name, and you look up by
name.
name = "Lock And Load"
if name in levels:
seed = levels[name]
else:
# Never seen this level before.
seed = pick_a_new_seed_somehow()
levels[name] = seed
map = make_map(name, seed) # whatever arguments needed
redraw(map)
