How to assert a dict contains another dict without assertDictContainsSubset in python?
python, python-2.7, python-3.x, python-unittest
Solution
>>> d1 = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4)
>>> d2 = dict(a=1, b=2)
>>> set(d2.items()).issubset( set(d1.items()) )
True
And the other way around:
>>> set(d1.items()).issubset( set(d2.items()) )
False
Limitation: the dictionary values have to be hashable.
Problem
I know `assertDictContainsSubset` can do this in python 2.7, but for some reason it's deprecated in python 3.2. So is there any way to assert a dict contains another one without `assertDictContainsSubset`? This seems not good: ``` for item in dic2: self.assertIn(item, dic) ``` any other good way? Thanks
