Comment(by tjolivet):

 Hi, thanks for you corrections and your patch.

 > I still have concerns with two things before giving a positive review :
 (1) I think the method {{{Patch.__getitem__}}} should be removed as the
 result can be different on other machine and (2) the ordering of the iter
 method of a Patch is not guarenteed. So the result of the tikz method may
 change on other machine which may lead to doctest problem later. So I
 suggest not to change the tikz method, but rather change the way we test
 them.

 I would like to keep the {{{__getitem__}}} method because we use it often
 when we need to pick an arbitrary face of a patch. But we should in this
 case write a WARNING in the doc, I agree that the result changing from
 machine to machine can be confusing.

 I will soon make the changes to the doc to prevent the {{{__iter__}}}
 ordering problems. (Should be easy by comparing strings or by using
 {{{__sorted__}}}. How do you think should the tikz output be tested to
 prevent these problems?
