checking if 2 dicts are equals

Question

I have this program :
def is_equal(obj_one, obj_two):
return ( obj_one.keys()==obj_two.keys() and obj_one.values()==obj_two.values() )

obj_one = {
"name": "Jason",
"phone": "9853759720",
"email": "[e-mail]"
}

obj_two = {
"name": "Jason",
"phone": "9853759720",
"email": "[e-mail]"
}
print(is_equal(obj_one, obj_two))

I know that using obj_one.items()==obj_two.items() will give true result , but I can't get why using keys and values logic is giving false

Maybe the link in the code helps. I also don't know why it returns false, but it is documented.

Answer 2

mmm, I tried it using keys () alone, it gave true, so the problem is in the values () , still not clear why , though the values are equals

Answer 3

why not just use

obj_one==obj_two

? it compares keys and values. No need to break down the comparison manually to keys and values.

Answer 4

I guess it will give the results only for keys , but in order for dictionaries to be equals keys and values both should be the same in the 2 dicts

Answer 5

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict.values

"An equality comparison between one dict.values() view and another will always return False. This also applies when comparing dict.values() to itself:"
