[New-bugs-announce] [issue29458] random.seed version=1 behavior

[Maciej Obarski]

New submission from Maciej Obarski:

random.seed version=1 wont generate the same randint sequences in python2 and python3

Python 2.7:
>>> seed(1); randint(0,100)
13

Python 3.6:
>>> seed(1,version=1); randint(0,100)
17

The documentation states that versio=1 is "provided for reproducing random sequences from older versions of Python" and "If a new seeding method is added, then a backward compatible seeder will be offered."
