The seed function is not in module random (too bad) but in
module whrandom:

So you can do:
    import whrandom
    whrandom.seed()
    #or, with up to three integer arguments:
    whrandom.seed(1,2,3)

(whrandom is actually meant to be "hidden implementation
details", but we obviously still need it explicitly.)
