Dear NEST users,

As I understood from the documentation unless you set the seed using nest.rng_seed, nest.random.normal (for instance) should return the same value 

nest.ResetKernel()
nest.rng_seed = 21#69696
v_m = nest.random.normal(mean=-51., std=10.)
v_m.GetValue()

In this code, I always receive the same v_m value for both cases, if the seed is set as 21 or 69696. The only time it changes is if I remove ResetKernel() call, which then is expected to return different values irrespective of rng_seed.
With this code below, I also got the same results irrespective of rng_seed value

nest.ResetKernel()
nest.rng_seed = 3333#69696
for _ in range(10):
    v_m = nest.random.normal(mean=-51., std=10.)
    print(v_m.GetValue())

So, maybe rng_seed doesn't reflect on nest.random.normal distribution. However, then how can I make sure it draws a different set of values?
