     Type:  defect        |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:             
Component:  numpy.random  |     Version:  1.0.2      
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  seed random
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The following code fails:

 {{{
 for loop_num in arange(4):
     random.seed(loop_num)

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
   File "mtrand.pyx", line 515, in mtrand.RandomState.seed
 ValueError: object of too small depth for desired array
 }}}

 but will work if I replace the command in the loop with:[[BR]]
 {{{
     random.seed(int(loop_num))
 }}}
