Multi-threading note: the random number generator used here is not thread-
safe; it is possible that two calls return the same random value. However,
you can instantiate a different instance of Random() in each thread to get
generators that don't share state, then use .setstate() and .jumpahead() to
move the generators to disjoint segments of the full period. For example,
def create_generators(num, delta, firstseed=None):
""\"Return list of num distinct generators.
Each generator has its own unique segment of delta elements from
Random.random()'s full period.
Seed the first generator with optional arg firstseed (default is
None, to seed from current time).
""\"
from random import Random
g = Random(firstseed)
result = [g]
for i in range(num - 1):
laststate = g.getstate()
g = Random()
g.setstate(laststate)
g.jumpahead(delta)
result.append(g)
return result
gens = create_generators(10, 1000000)
That creates 10 distinct generators, which can be passed out to 10 distinct
threads. The generators don't share state so can be called safely in
parallel. So long as no thread calls its g.random() more than a million
times (the second argument to create_generators), the sequences seen by
each thread will not overlap.
The period of the underlying Wichmann-Hill generator is 6,953,607,871,644,
and that limits how far this technique can be pushed.
Just for fun, note that since we know the period, .jumpahead() can also be
used to "move backward in time":
>>> g = Random(42) # arbitrary
>>> g.random()
0.25420336316883324
>>> g.jumpahead(6953607871644L - 1) # move *back* one
>>> g.random()
0.25420336316883324
