More problems with random seed (was Re: whrandom seed question)

[Stelios Kyriacou]

Thanks both for your correct answer. Unfortunately I hate to say but my
ultimate question (which I never mentioned :) ) is unanswered. Why
when I call the gauss distribution I get 2 alternating values:

>>> random.seed(0); print random.gauss(0,1); 
2.11224018067
>>> random.seed(0); print random.gauss(0,1); 
0.225551631579
>>> random.seed(0); print random.gauss(0,1); 
2.11224018067
>>> random.seed(0); print random.gauss(0,1); 
0.225551631579
>>> random.seed(0); print random.gauss(0,1); 
2.11224018067
>>> 


Any more ideas?
