Hi,
What is the currently most Pythonic way for doing deep comparisons between
dicts?
For example, say you have the following two dictionaries
a = {
'bob': { 'full_name': 'bob jones', 'age': 4, 'hobbies': ['hockey',
'tennis'], 'parents': { 'mother': 'mary', 'father', 'mike'}},
'james': { 'full_name': 'james joyce', 'age': 6, 'hobbies': [],}
}
b = {
'bob': { 'full_name': 'bob jones', 'age': 4, 'hobbies': ['hockey',
'tennis']},
'james': { 'full_name': 'james joyce', 'age': 5, 'hobbies': []}
}
Previously, I though you could do a cmp():
cmp(a, b)
However, this page seems to imply that cmp() is deprecated?
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.0.html#ordering-comparisons
Should we just be using the equality operator ("==") instead then? E.g.:
a == b
What is the reason for this?
Or is there a better way to do this?
Regards,
Victor
