It would also be an idea to replace these absolute tolerance tests, i.e. 
abs(x - y) < something, by a relative tests abs(x-y)/x < something. In 
general, this should be more stable. Such an approach is used by pytest, 
see https://docs.pytest.org/en/6.2.x/reference.html#pytest-approx. Maybe 
this helper function could be directly re-used, which would also simplify 
comparing lists etc.
