There is no an entry for NoneType, so the link will not work.

Is float because of seed(time.time())?

Excuse my density and lateness, but why was this feature deprecated and removed instead of being fixed? Couldn't you use a non-random hash? The Python standard library already provides a wide variety of hashes in |

Makes the following changes: - Added `float` to the `Union` for `Seed`. - Added `None` to the `Union` for `Seed`. - Replaced `Optional[Seed]` with `Seed` everywhere. See the following links for details: - https://bugs.python.org/issue32554 - python/cpython#15382 - https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/random.html#random.seed Currently `typeshed` is still using `Any`.
