[Bug] importing "Litestar" somehow makes "Faker" Not Random anymore

[saltcable]

• Faker version: 19.1.0
• Litestar version: 2.0.0b2
• OS: Python 3.10.5 (tags/v3.10.5:f377153, Jun 6 2022, 16:14:13) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Faker is working fine but when Litestar is imported, it's not random anymore. Same result/output every time.

Steps to reproduce

1. code (lab.py)

import faker
import litestar  # <<=== the problem

fake = faker.Faker()
print(fake.md5())

2. run few time

python lab.py
python lab.py
python lab.py

Expected behavior (by removing import litestar)

Random output all the time

Actual behavior (same environment)

Same every time. for all the functions

Given the litestar maintainer comment in the linked issue, what would be your desired solution for faker? I do not see faker ensuring compatibility with each third-party package which might "mess" with the seeding automatically.

This is indeed not an issue on your end but ours!

well, no exactly. The issue is that faker only allows global configuration - rather than a per Faker() instance configuration of randomness.

When we seed random we do random.Random rather than the global randomness.

The issue is that faker only allows global configuration

Is Faker.seed_instance() not working?
