Reproducibility of python pseudo-random numbers across systems and versions?

Question

I need to generate a controlled sequence of pseudo-random numbers, given an initial parameter. For that I\'m using the standard python random generator, seeded by this param

Answer 1

Not necessarily.

As described in the documentation, the random module has used the Mersenne twister to generate random numbers since version 2.3, but used Wichmann-Hill before that.

(If a seed is not provided, the method of obtaining the seed also does depend on the operating system, the Python version, and factors such as the system time).
