What is the "Official Python(tm)" method for generating a "guaranteed for all time to always be the same if started with the same seed" string of random numbers for use in something like a UnitTest? The Random module does not seem to make any promises about repeatability between versions, releases, operating-systems, etc. The only thing which enforces the repeatability is the fact that the generator is actually the whrandom generator under the covers.
