tf.compat.v1.nest.assert_same_structure

tf.nest.assert_same_structure(
    nest1, nest2, check_types=True, expand_composites=False
)

Note that namedtuples with identical name and fields are always considered to have the same shallow structure (even with check_types=True). For instance, this code will print True:

def nt(a, b):
  return collections.namedtuple('foo', 'a b')(a, b)
print(assert_same_structure(nt(0, 1), nt(2, 3)))

Args
nest1	an arbitrarily nested structure.
nest2	an arbitrarily nested structure.
check_types	if True (default) types of sequences are checked as well, including the keys of dictionaries. If set to False, for example a list and a tuple of objects will look the same if they have the same size. Note that namedtuples with identical name and fields are always considered to have the same shallow structure. Two types will also be considered the same if they are both list subtypes (which allows "list" and "_ListWrapper" from trackable dependency tracking to compare equal).
expand_composites	If true, then composite tensors such as tf.sparse.SparseTensor and tf.RaggedTensor are expanded into their component tensors.

Raises
ValueError	If the two structures do not have the same number of elements or if the two structures are not nested in the same way.
TypeError	If the two structures differ in the type of sequence in any of their substructures. Only possible if check_types is True.
