question about random number generation

[Lu.Fan at seagate.com]

Dear All,
I'm a newbie in Python. I have a question about the random number 
generation in Python vs. Java. 
We have a system developed in Python. Now I'm writing tests in Java 
(actually a Java wrapper) to test it. I need to duplicate a random number 
generation process in my test which means that given the same seed I 
expect the same result in Java as in Python. As far as I know, Python uses 
the Mersenne Twister RNG --- correct me if I am wrong. Do Python and Java 
use the same RNG?

Thanks,

Lu
