Random test failures

[opoplawski]

I'm trying to package this for Fedora, and we are experiencing random test failures like:

FAIL: test_map (test_workerpool.TestWorkerPool)
Map a list to a method to a pool of two workers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/workerpool-0.9.2/test/test_workerpool.py", line 16, in test_map
    self.assertEquals(r, [2,4,6,8,10])
AssertionError: Lists differ: [4, 6, 8, 2, 10] != [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
First differing element 0:
4
2
- [4, 6, 8, 2, 10]
?          ---
+ [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
?  +++

Is there any expectation of ordering?

Hmm, ordering used to be reliable in whatever version of Python was around in 2008, but perhaps things have changed.

We can change the comparisons to sets. Would you be interested in making a pull request?

Just chiming in here, but it doesn't look like map would ever return them in the correct order unless by dumb luck.
