How can I compare the differences between the two files(python Dictionary as a format)?

Question

Use the python script to output the contents of the dictionary to a file , the file name is 2017-12-29.txt, the content of the file from output of dictionary content :

{u'AP1': [u'i-001',u'i-002'], u'AP2': [u'i-003', u'i-004'], u'AP3': [u'i-005', u'i-006'], u'AP4': [u'i-007', u'i-008'], u'AP5': ,[u'i-009', u'i-010']}

another file name is 2017-12-30.txt, the content of the file from output of dictionary content :

{u'AP1': [u'i-001'], u'AP2': [u'i-003', u'i-004'], u'AP3': [u'i-005'], u'AP4': [u'i-007', u'i-008'], u'AP5': ,[u'i-009', u'i-010',u'i-011']}

How can I compare the differences between the two files , then export this difference to another file in the dictionary format or other format ?

Answer 1

Generate output files with pprint, run /usr/bin/diff -u or difflib against them, and you're done.

Oh, and do code this in python3. You'll be glad you did.
