I'm just about to embark on a long-term research project and was planning to use numpy.random to generate stimuli for our experiments. We plan to store only the parameters and RandomState seed for each stimulus and I'm concerned about stability of the API in the long term: will the parameters and random seed we store now work with future versions of numpy.random? I think I recall that there was a change in the random seed format some time around numpy 1.0.
Thanks, Barry
