init inside def

[targetsmart]

Hi,
today I just came across a python code snippet where __init__ was
defined inside a function..
I am not able to understand the reason why

The code snippet was similar like

def func1(a,b):
  def __init__():
func2(a,b)
  def func2(a,b):
if a == b:
  return True
else:
  return False
  return False

So far I have seen __init__ only used inside class definitions not
inside any function, could somebody tell me how __init__ can be useful
inside a function definition..?

Thanks,
Vivek.

dumping generator

[targetsmart]

Right now if I want to dump the contents of a generator object I use ,
a snip from a bigger block of code..

try:
 while gen:  print gen.next()
except StopIteration:
 print "Done"
else:
 raise

is there a much simpler way ?

like for printing list we do
list = range(10)
print list
would print
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Compare two nested dictionaries

[targetsmart]

Hi,
I am trying to compare two nested dictionaries, I want to know what is
the exact difference between them. I tried this solution

...
s1 = set(result1)
s2 = set(result2)
print s1 - s2

but it doesn't seem show any difference, but

assert result1 == result2
fails

could someone help me to find out the difference the two nested
dictionaries.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vivek.
