deep-compare 1.0.1

A small example package

Deep Compare

Deep Compare is a simple module that lets the user compare two variables irrespective of their current datatype.

Installation

$ pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ deep-compare

Requirements

• Python3.7+

Usage

install the Deep Compare package using the command

$ pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ deep-compare

you will be able to use package after installation by importing it in your python file like

from deep-compare import compare_variables.CompareVariables

CompareVariables includes 11 methods

1. is_float(value)

returns True if the value is an integer or float, else returns False.

a = '17.5'
is_float = CompareVariables.is_float(a)
print(is_float)

output

>>> True

a = 'hi'
is_float = CompareVariables.is_float(a)
print(is_float)

output

>>> False

2. is_date_time(value)

returns True if value is a date or date-time(if the input datatype is a string the date or datetime must be in iso time format and the python version used must be 3.7 or above) else returns False.

a = '2020-12-12 10:45'
is_date_time = CompareVariables.is_date_time(a)
print(is_date_time)

output

>>> True

a = '15th january 2020 '
is_date_time = CompareVariables.is_date_time(a)
print(is_date_time)

output

>>> False

3. can_literal_eval(value)

returns True if value is a list, dict, tuple, set etc.

a = '[2,5,6]'
can_literal_eval = CompareVariables.can_literal_eval(a)
print(can_literal_eval)

output

>>> True

4. is_complex(value):

returns True if value is a complex number else returns False.

a = '3 + 5j'
is_complex = CompareVariables.is_complex(a)
print(is_complex)

output

>>> True

a = '15th january 2020 '
is_complex = CompareVariables.is_complex(a)
print(is_complex)

output

>>> False

5. compare(value1, value2)

returns True if the values are equal else returns False.

a = 5
b = 5
output = CompareVariables.compare(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = 5
b = '5'
output = CompareVariables.compare(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False

6. compare_date(value1, value2):

returns True if the two input date values(value can be iso time format string also) are equal else returns False.

a = '2020-12-12 10:58'
b = '2020-12-12'
output = CompareVariables.compare_date(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = '2020-12-12 10:58'
b = '2020-10-12 10:58'
output = CompareVariables.compare_date(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False

7. compare_datetime(value1, value2):

returns True if the input two input datetime values(value can be iso time format string also) are equal else returns False.

from datetime import datetime

a = '2020-12-12 10:58'
b = datetime(2020,12,12,10,58)
output = CompareVariables.compare_datetime(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = '2020-12-12 10:58'
b = '2020-12-12 11:58'
output = CompareVariables.compare_datetime(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False

8. datatype_check(value):

returns the input value in its correct datatype else returns False.

a = '3 + 4j'
output = CompareVariables.datatype_check(a)
print(output)

output

>>> 3+4j

9. compare_list_or_tuples_or_set(value1, value2):

returns True if the input values(list/tuple/set) are equal else returns False.

a = '[1,2,3,44]'
b = '["1","2","3","44"]'
output = CompareVariables.compare_list_or_tuples_or_set(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = '[1,2,3,44]'
b = '["1","2","3"]'
output = CompareVariables.compare_list_or_tuples_or_set(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False

10. compare_dicts(value1, value2):

returns True if the input values(dicts) are equal else returns False.

a = '{"1":"2",3:5}'
b = {1:2,3:5}
output = CompareVariables.compare_dicts(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = '{"1":"2",3:5}'
b = {1:2,3:5,4:6}
output = CompareVariables.compare_dicts(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False

11. type_matching_and_compare(value1, value2):

returns True if the values are equal irrespective of the input datatype else returns False.

a = '{"1":"2",3:5}'
b = {1:2,3:5}
output = CompareVariables.type_matching_and_compare(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> True

a = '[1,2,3,44]'
b = '["1","2","3"]'
output = CompareVariables.type_matching_and_compare(a,b)
print(output)

output

>>> False
