seidel.py: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'right_point'

What steps will reproduce the problem?

===================================================
from seidel import Triangulator

verts = [(26.090910000000008, 20.543109999999956),
         (33.597770000000025, 20.543109999999956),
         (33.597770000000025, 12.413719999999955),
         (25.46839, 12.413719999999955),
         (25.46839, 20.451549999999997),
         (26.090910000000008, 20.451549999999997),
         (26.090910000000008, 20.54314999999997)]

triangulator = Triangulator(verts)
===================================================

Because the seidel.py module randomly shuffles the edges each time, the error 
only occurs ~50% of the time.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Revision: 5ad6efedc1c1
Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.

I tracked the problem to line 511 of seidel.py. Whenever 
trapezoids[-1].lower_right==None, the following iteration of the while loop 
raises the exception.

This appears to be related to having 2 points close together. Is there a 
minimum distance between points that will cause the algorithm to fail?
