Dear all, in ticket https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/26586 I just learned:
- The tests of individual functions within a single file are ALL executed in the same environment. - The tests of the individual functions within a single file are executed in random order. So I thought, I'd try `sage -t --randorder`. It turns out that there are at least some failing tests in the combinat folder, see below. I wonder how to continue with this. Please excuse that the following questions seem unrelated to each other - however, they all deal with the same problem at different levels. 1) would it be easy and desirable to make the patchbots run tests in random order? 2) concerning https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/26586, is it desirable to define comparison for `CartesianProduct`? Or should I fix the doctest in an ad-hoc manner (converting the `CartesianProduct` to tuples, and then sort? 3) at first I thought that it is good practise to sort output whose order is essentially random, but I was told not to do this. Is this advice good? 4) would it be good for `Poset.upper_covers` return a list (or iterator) of tuples instead of a list (or iterator) of lists? Then one could turn the list into a set easily. 5) would it be a good idea to have `__repr__` use a "sorted output" for objects that are sets from a mathematical perspective? Of course, this may break the user expectation what the first element of the displayed sequence is, but on the other hand, it may make at least some output easier to understand.
