Tests are non-deterministic
See original GitHub issueWe hit an unexpected test failure in test_directed_input. The error was that one of the source graphs was disconnected. This was pretty unlikely, given the G(n,p) parameters, but it can happen, and because the tests do not fix np.random.seed() and random.seed(), it will probably pop up randomly from time to time and force us to restart Travis jobs.

We don’t actually mention running the tests locally in CONTRIBUTING, and any Travis failures can be addressed by us.
#240 will deal with the density concern. Otherwise, we’ll close this for now.
