Compare objects and lists in python

Compare

Visualise differences between two dicts or lists

Example

>>> from compare import compare
>>> ob1 = {'a': 3, 'b': {'c': [0, {'d': 1, 'e': 2, 'nested_f': ['some val']             }, 2   ], 'g': {3, 4}}}
>>> ob2 = {'a': 4, 'b': {'c': [0, {'d': 1,         'nested_f': ['some val', 'something']}, 2, 3], 'g': {3, 5}}}
>>> compare(ob1, ob2)

. > 'a' dict value is different:
3
4

. > 'b' > 'c' > i:1 > 'e' dict key present in ob1, absent in ob2, value=2

. > 'b' > 'c' > i:1 > 'nested_f' lists differed at positions: 1
['<not present>']
['something']

. > 'b' > 'c' lists differed at positions: 3
['<not present>']
[3]

. > 'b' > 'g' sets are different:
Set in ob1 has extra values:
5
Set in ob1 is missing values:
4
