I'm trying to use dictdiffer to get the diff of two lists of dictionaries, but its not working well. It seems to get confused whenever the ordering of the dicts inside the list is not identical between the two lists, or when the number of dictionaries in one list is (slightly) different from the other list.
Is this functionality something that is currently possible and expected to work, or am I trying to accomplish something unsupported?
In case it matters, this is an example of a list of dictionaries that I'm trying to work with:
