FIX: make the test_pareto() robust

certik · certik · commit 74093c86fd83 · 2012-09-04T14:46:24.000-07:00
Fixes numpy#424 The problem was that in 32bit Ubuntu 12.04, one gets the following: > /home/njs/numpy/.tox/py27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/random/tests/test_random.py(363)test_pareto() -> np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal(actual, desired, decimal=15) (Pdb) actual[1, 0] 52828779.702948704 (Pdb) desired[1, 0] 52828779.702948518 and the test was comparing the numbers to 1e-14, which obviously failed. Now we compare them to 1e-6, which works.
