As you probably are aware, CPython returns totally different values for the same code: 0.844421851525 0.134364244112 0.956034271889 0.237964627092 0.236048089737 0.62290169489 ... I'm not sugesting each random seed should return the same value in Jython and CPython. However, code depending on CPython's random behaviour will return skewed results: I've been bitten by this bug myself. BTW how do we get something that resembles CPython's random behaviour in Jython?
