[Numpy-discussion] How to generate equivalent "random" numbers in matlab and numpy?

[Nicolas Pinto]

Dear all,

I'd like to generate equivalent sequences of 'random' numbers in matlab and
numpy, is there any way I can do that? I tried to fix the seed (see below)
but it doesn't work.

# numpy
In [29]: np.random.seed(1); np.random.permutation(5)+1
Out[29]: array([3, 2, 5, 1, 4])

% matlab
>> rand('seed', 1); randperm(5)

ans =

     4     3     5     2     1


Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
