It looks like dict, set and frozenset representation (repr(...)) now depends on the platform (probably 32 bit vs 64 bit), even if PYTHONHASHSEED is set. I don't know if it's an issue or not.

In Python 3.3, repr(set("abcd")) with PYTHONHASHSEED=0 always give "{'a', 'c', 'b', 'd'}" on 32 bit and 64 bit platforms.

In Python 3.4, repr(set("abcd")) with PYTHONHASHSEED=0 now gives "{'b', 'a', 'c', 'd'}" on 32 bit.and "{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'}" on 64 bit.
