title: how to query seed used by random.random()?
body: <p>Is there any way to find out what seed Python used to seed its random number generator?</p>
  
  <p>I know I can specify my own seed, but I'm quite happy with Python managing it.  But, I do want to know what seed it used, so that if I like the results I'm getting in a particular run, I could reproduce that run later.  If I had the seed that was used then I could.</p>
  
  <p>If the answer is I can't, then what's the best way to generate a seed myself?  I want them to always be different from run to run---I just want to know what was used.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: yes, I mean random.random()!  mistake...  [title updated]</p>
