"""Seed the generator for python builtin random, numpy.random, mxnet.random.
This method is to control random state for mxnet related random functions.
Note that this function cannot guarantee 100 percent reproducibility due to
hardware settings.
Parameters
----------
a : int or 1-d array_like, optional
Initialize internal state of the random number generator.
If `seed` is not None or an int or a long, then hash(seed) is used instead.
Note that the hash values for some types are nondeterministic.
