It seems to be the same dictionary, but presented in different order. Maybe some change in the python version?

[tobiasdiez]

It happens across multiple python versions.

May be we should use something like that to make the test more robust ?

sage: res = C.domain().face_data()
sage: type(res)
<class 'dict'>
sage: sorted(res.items())
[((*, ()), None),
 ((*, (1,2,3)), None),
 ((*, (1,3,2)), None),
 ((sigma_1, ()), ((*, (1,2,3)), (*, ()))),
 ((sigma_1, ()), ((*, ()), (*, ()))),
 ((sigma_1, (1,2,3)), ((*, (1,3,2)), (*, (1,2,3)))),
 ((sigma_1, (1,2,3)), ((*, (1,2,3)), (*, (1,2,3)))),
 ((sigma_1, (1,3,2)), ((*, ()), (*, (1,3,2)))),
 ((sigma_1, (1,3,2)), ((*, (1,3,2)), (*, (1,3,2))))]

or

sage: {k: res[k] for k in sorted(res)}
{(*, ()): None,
 (*, (1,2,3)): None,
 (*, (1,3,2)): None,
 (sigma_1, ()): ((*, (1,2,3)), (*, ())),
 (sigma_1, ()): ((*, ()), (*, ())),
 (sigma_1, (1,2,3)): ((*, (1,3,2)), (*, (1,2,3))),
 (sigma_1, (1,2,3)): ((*, (1,2,3)), (*, (1,2,3))),
 (sigma_1, (1,3,2)): ((*, ()), (*, (1,3,2))),
 (sigma_1, (1,3,2)): ((*, (1,3,2)), (*, (1,3,2)))}
