Dirty-equals – Doing dirty (but useful) things with equals

In plain words

Dirty-equals is a Python library that extends the standard equals comparison operator to handle complex matching scenarios. It allows developers to write more flexible equality checks for testing and data validation, comparing values in unconventional ways. The tool is designed for programmers who need sophisticated comparison logic beyond exact matching. It launched in February 2022 as an open-source project on GitHub.
