seedbank 0.1.0

Common infrastructure for initializing random number generators.

Python Seed Manager

Python programs, particularly data science applications, often need to interact with multiple different random number generators.

This package provides a unified interface to seeding them, along with APIs for deriving additional RNG seeds in a predictable way (using NumPy 1.17's new random infrastructure) and construction random generators.

SeedBank uses Flit for managing dependencies. To set up in a fresh virtual environment:

python -m pip install flit
flit install --pth-file

If you want to use a Conda environment for development, use:

python build-tools/flit-conda --create-env --python-version 3.8
