I want to compare two dicts that should have identical info just in a
different data structure. The first dict's contents look like this. It
is authoritative... I know for sure it has the correct key value pairs:
{'001' : '01'}
The second dict's contents are like this with a tuple instead of a
string for the key:
{('This is one', '001'): '01'}
It looks like extracting key[1] from each key of the second dictionary
should yield the keys of the first dictionary. If that is the case, then
the following should do it:
d1 = {'001':'01', '002':'02'}
d2 = {('This is one', '001'): '01', ('This is two', '002'): '02'}
if d1 == dict( zip( (k[1] for k in d2.keys()), d2.values() ) ):
print "They're 'equal'."
