New issue 3644 by [email protected]: use of random should not modify the global random state
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3644

There is discussion of this at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1785

Basically, all random functions should be derived from a random.Random(SYMPY_RANDOM_SEED). So, for example, `from random import randint` should be replaced with

```
from random import Random
rng = Random(SYMPY_RANDOM_SEED)
randint = rng.randint
```

But perhaps it would be better to leave the `rng` in place in the code so it's clear that the call to randint is using rng rather than the global random module. Similarily, calls to `random.random()` would be replace with `rng.random()`
