DataDiff is a library to provide human-readable diffs of python data structures.
Project description
DataDiff is a library to provide human-readable diffs of python data structures. It can handle sequence types (lists, tuples, etc), sets, and dictionaries.
Dictionaries and sequences will be diffed recursively, when applicable.
It has special-case handling for multi-line strings, showing them as a typical unified diff.
Drop-in replacements for some nose assertions are available. If the assertion fails, a nice data diff is shown, letting you easily pinpoint the root difference.
datadiff works on Python 2.6 through Python 3.

Example
Here’s an example:
>>> from datadiff import diff >>> a = dict(foo=1, bar=2, baz=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]) >>> b = dict(foo=1, bar=4, baz=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]) >>> print diff(a, b) --- a +++ b { -'bar': 2, +'bar': 4, 'baz': [ @@ -5,11 +5,8 @@ 6, 7, 8, -9, -10, -11, ], 'foo': 1, } >>> >>> from datadiff.tools import assert_equal >>> assert_equal([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 5]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "datadiff/tools.py", line 29, in assert_equal raise AssertionError(msg) AssertionError: --- a +++ b [ @@ -0,2 +0,2 @@ 1, 2, -3, +5, ]
