I don't see any unit tests for numpy.random. I guess randomness is hard to test. Would it help to seed the random number generator and at least check that you get the same result you got before? No existing problems would be found. But new ones might be caught. I guess the alternative is a long running, occasionally failing, statistical tests. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
