Pythonic way to check if two dictionaries have the identical set of keys?

Question

For example, let\'s say I have to dictionaries:

d_1 = {\'peter\': 1, \'adam\': 2, \'david\': 3}

and

d_2 = {\'peter\': 14, \         


        

Answer 1

One way is to check for symmetric difference (new set with elements in either s or t but not both):

set(d_1.keys()).symmetric_difference(set(d_2.keys()))

But a shorter way it to just compare the sets:

set(d_1) == set(d_2)
