Description: Issue #13703: oCERT-2011-003: add -R command-line option and
 PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable, to provide an opt-in way to protect
 against denial of service attacks due to hash collisions within the dict and
 set types.  Patch by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.

+   If this variable is set to ``random``, the effect is the same as specifying
+   the :option:`-R` option: a random value is used to seed the hashes of str,

+
+   If :envvar:`PYTHONHASHSEED` is set to an integer value, it is used as a
+   fixed seed for generating the hash() of the types covered by the hash

+
+   Its purpose is to allow repeatable hashing, such as for selftests for the
+   interpreter itself, or to allow a cluster of python processes to share hash
+   values.
+
+   The integer must be a decimal number in the range [0,4294967295].

 If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent to specifying

+.IP PYTHONHASHSEED
+If this variable is set to "random", the effect is the same as specifying
+the \fB-R\fP option: a random value is used to seed the hashes of str,
+bytes and datetime objects.
+
+If PYTHONHASHSEED is set to an integer value, it is used as a fixed seed for
+generating the hash() of the types covered by the hash randomization.  Its
+purpose is to allow repeatable hashing, such as for selftests for the
+interpreter itself, or to allow a cluster of python processes to share hash
+values.
+
+The integer must be a decimal number in the range [0,4294967295].  Specifying
+the value 0 will lead to the same hash values as when hash randomization is
+disabled.
