Comment (by tscholl2):
I think this ticket is fine because it's still a step in the right
direction. In my mind the best framework would be for every interface to
have a `set_seed` function like these. Then `randstate` would have methods
that take in an instance of an interface and set it's seed using that
method. Right now there is no control over multiple instances of
interfaces, which it seems like there could/should be, and it might even
simplify some of the `randstate` code.
Also `randstate` would still set seeds for non-interfaces such as
libraries like `libc` and `python.random` (or wrap the random calls as it
does). All of the `set_seed` methods I wrote default to
`interface.rand_seed` on startup which uses `randstate`, so I think this
fit the description of this ticket.
I think the next ticket should be specifically about `randstate` and be
dependent on this one. I am worried repurposing this ticket to do both
might be a bit much. Or did you have something else in mind?
