I don't know of any standard solution, I generally sort the items in
some ways, or add the result, that has to be equal:
>>> r = foo()
>>> r == {'object': 'rain', 'location': 'Spain', 'subloc': 'train'}
True

A more general solution like this for sets/dics may become useful...
do you have any idea regarding how to design it?
