Extension of the in-build dict type.

bigt

Extension of the in-build dict type. Main reason is to add merge and issubset methods to simplify working with nested dictionaries.

Examples:

from bigt.dictext import DictExt

a = {"a": {"a": "str", "b": 123}}
b = {"a": {"a": "str", "b": 1234}}
result, not_present, changed = DictExt(b).issubset(a)
assert not result
assert changed == {"a": {"b": {"old": 1234, "new": 123} } }
assert not not_present

>>> DictExt({"a": 3, "b": [{"b": 123}]}) + DictExt({"a": 1, "c": False, "b": [{"a": 12.64}]})
{'a': 1, 'b': [{'b': 123, 'a': 12.64}], 'c': False}

>>> DictExt({"aa": 3, "a": [{"b": {"bv": 1, "bc": 2}, "a": 1}, [3,1,8,5]]}).sort()
{'a': [[1, 3, 5, 8], {'a': 1, 'b': {'bc': 2, 'bv': 1}}], 'aa': 3}
