This script contains a single function aiming to compare deeply 2 objects. The function will return a dictionnary of the differences between the 2 objects.
If you are looking for exhaustive deep diff, you are probably looking for the deepdiff library. This function covers my use cases but is far from exhaustive, and was just an excuse to reinvent the wheel on a bored saturday.
This function compares recursively 2 given objects. They can be nested dictionaries, lists etc... It will return a dictionary of all differences between the 2 objects.
It's a useful function to compare 2 big data dumps where few differences are expected.
Either copy the function in one of your script or download dict_diff.py next to your script and from dict_diff import diff to use it.
