There is a flaw in the test suite. It tests the values in rpy2r rather than the results rpy from the solver's function. Also, the tolerance needs to be widened a bit.

Actually that's not a flaw, William. Since it is not always possible to determine the exact three original angles. In the second test case for instance, there are infinite solutions due to a singularity. Therefore, he tests the rotation matrix since it will be equal for all possible solutions.
