William Stein reported on sage.devel:[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/5fa8e919dd83b4b7]:
{{{
sage: import random
sage: set_random_seed(0); random.randint(0,20)
3
sage: set_random_seed(0); random.randint(0,20)
8
}}}
William said "Basically, I expected that Sage's "set_random_seed" would
actually set
*Python*'s own random seed, given that it sets gp, gap, maxima, etc."
