`rv_discrete.``random_state`

  Get or set the RandomState object for generating random variates.

  This can be either None or an existing RandomState object.

  If None (or np.random), use the RandomState singleton used by np.random. If already a RandomState instance, use it. If an int, use a new RandomState instance seeded with seed.
