PYTHONHASHSEED and your tests

Read Original

The article discusses a common testing pitfall in Python where tests for functions using dictionaries (like urllib.urlencode) can fail non-deterministically due to hash randomization (PYTHONHASHSEED). It explains the problem and provides solutions, such as testing for the presence of constituent parts instead of exact string equality, to write reliable, order-agnostic tests.
