Python: Check if one dictionary is a subset of another larger dictionary

Question

I\'m trying to write a custom filter method that takes an arbitrary number of kwargs and returns a list containing the elements of a database-like list that contain

Answer 1

Most of the answers will not work if within dict there are some arrays of other dicts, here is a solution for this:

def d_eq(d, d1):
   if not isinstance(d, (dict, list)):
      return d == d1
   if isinstance(d, list):
      return all(d_eq(a, b) for a, b in zip(d, d1))
   return all(d.get(i) == d1[i] or d_eq(d.get(i), d1[i]) for i in d1)

def is_sub(d, d1):
  if isinstance(d, list):
     return any(is_sub(i, d1) for i in d)
  return d_eq(d, d1) or (isinstance(d, dict) and any(is_sub(b, d1) for b in d.values()))

print(is_sub(dct_1, dict_2))
