title: Independent instances of 'random'
body: <p>The below code attempts to illustrate what I want. I basically want two instances of "random" that operate independently of each other. I want to seed "random" within one class without affecting "random" in another class. How can I do that?</p>
  
  <pre><code>class RandomSeeded:
      def __init__(self, seed):
          import random as r1
          self.random = r1
          self.random.seed(seed)
      def get(self):
          print self.random.choice([4,5,6,7,8,9,2,3,4,5,6,7,])
  
  class Random:
      def __init__(self):
          import random as r2
          self.random = r2
          self.random.seed()
      def get(self): 
          print self.random.choice([4,5,6,7,8,9,2,3,4,5,6,7,])
  
  if __name__ == '__main__':
      t = RandomSeeded('asdf')
      t.get()       # random is seeded within t
      s = Random()
      s.get()       
      t.get()       # random should still be seeded within t, but is no longer
  </code></pre>
