Description

Describe your environment

OS: ALL
Python version: Python 3.10.16
SDK version: 1.29.0

What happened?

After setting a random seed in the Python application, the traceId and spanId are duplicated after each restart of the application.

Steps to Reproduce

from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import RandomIdGenerator

if name == "main":
import random
random.seed(10)
id_generator = RandomIdGenerator()
trace_id = id_generator.generate_trace_id()
span_id = id_generator.generate_span_id()
# Every time the main function is run, the trace_id is always 164207228320579316746596838417247989971
print(trace_id)
# Every time the main function is run, the span_id is always 273610340023782072
print(span_id)

Expected Result

Each time the main function runs, the trace_id and span_id are different.

Actual Result

Every time the main function is run, the trace_id is always 164207228320579316746596838417247989971
Every time the main function is run, the span_id is always 273610340023782072
