Please change how the env vars work as discussed earlier on this ticket.

Quick summary:

We only need one env var for the randomization logic: PYTHONHASHSEED.
If not set, 0 is used as seed. If set to a number, a fixed seed
is used. If set to "random", a random seed is generated at
interpreter startup.

Same for the -R cmd line option.

Thanks,
