gotcha or bug? random state reset on irrelevant import

[Alan Isaac]

Running test.py will print False.
Is this expected/desirable?

Alan Isaac


%%%%%%% test.py %%%%%%%%%%%
from random import seed, getstate
seed(217)
x = getstate()
from test2 import Trivial
y = getstate()
print x == y


%%%%%  test2.py  %%%%%%%%%%%%%
from random import seed
seed(314)
class Trivial:
    pass
