How to do it...

Note that examples are provided where output is generated for a command. Also note that, as these are randomized values, your results may be different:

  • The seed(a=None, version=2) function initializes the PRNG. If a is None, any system-based randomness sources that are available will be used to generate the seed; otherwise, the current system time is used for the seed value. If a is an integer, then it will be used directly as the seed value. version can be 1 or 2. The default is 2, meaning strings, bytes, and bytearrays will be converted to integers and all bits will be used for the seed. If version 1 is used (necessary when working with versions prior to 3.2), the conversion to integer creates a smaller range of seed values. ...
