In case you want more details about the differences, you could also use difflib...
from difflib import SequenceMatcher seq1 = [tuple(row.values()) for row in resultproxy1] seq2 = [tuple(row.values()) for row in resultproxy2] sm = SequenceMatcher(a=seq1, b=seq2, autojunk=False) print(sm.get_opcodes()) print(f'similarity: {sm.ratio()}') assert sm.ratio() == 1 # example to ensure results are equivalent assert sm.ratio() == 1, sm.get_opcodes() # pytest syntax to show the opcodes if the assertion fails Steven James On Friday, 29 November 2019 09:13:23 UTC-5, sumau wrote: > > Hello > > I think my original question was too generic so rephrasing...
