Hi Anton,

Thanks for the report. I've fixed this, but actually by putting the 
explicit int() constructor around the line which takes the param from 
the param file map, a couple of lines above where you added your cast:

       RNGSEED = int(PARAMS["RG:Seed"])

This will make it into the next release -- timescale so far unplanned. 
You have your own patched version working, I guess, or do you need a 
release?

Thanks,
Andy
