indifference
Track and compare differences between Python objects.
Installation
uv pip install indifference
Usage
import pickle
from copy import deepcopy
from indifference import diff, at
class Person:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.cache = {}
self.secret = "hidden"
def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
return self
def __reduce__(self):
# Pickle excludes secret and modifies name
state = {"name": "Bob", "cache": {}}
return (self.__class__, (self.name,), state)
def __setstate__(self, state):
self.__dict__.update(state)
original = Person("Alice")
deepcopy_version = deepcopy(original)
pickle_version = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(original))
deepcopy_story = diff(original, deepcopy_version)
pickle_story = diff(original, pickle_version)
# Use set operations to find differences
differences = deepcopy_story ^ pickle_story # symmetric difference
common = deepcopy_story & pickle_story # intersection
unique_to_pickle = pickle_story - deepcopy_story
all_changes = deepcopy_story | pickle_story
# Check what's different between the stories
assert differences == [at.name > "Bob"]
