[Numpy-discussion] Mersenne Twister: Python vs. NumPy

[Alan G Isaac]

If I seed NumPy's random number generator, I get the
expected sequence.  If I use the same seed for Python's
random number generator, I get a different sequence.

1. Why does the Python sequence differ from others?
2. Can I somehow put both MT's in a common state?

Thank you,
Alan Isaac
