Random across different machines #13

Open AdamMutzell opened 5 months ago

AdamMutzell commented 5 months ago

Will a fuzzer generate the same input on different machines on a specific seed? This will be vital to know if we can do a general fuzzer.

GeeksforGeeks says yes for different machines
Should work as long as you are doing integers for seeds
Issues when using strings as seeds on different versions of python, 3.1-3.2
Do not change the python implementation

Everything seems to work so far in practice. I'll keep this issue open for a little longer just to be sure that nothing weird happens.

Something weird happened. When going to python 3.7, the random objects generated by hypothesis become different. This may however be related to the fact that Hypothesis is not actually supported on 3.7
