Python 3: How to compare two tuples and find similar values?

I have two dictionaries: (1)Inventory and (2)Items Under these dictionaries are tuples which are added using user's input.

 dict_inventory = {('fruits', ['apple','mango'])

 dict_items = {('apple', [3, 5])
    ('mango', [4, 6])}

How do I compare the two and to match similar values which are apple and mango

My code is not printing anything:

for itemA in dict_inventory.values():
    for itemB in dict_items.keys():
        if itemA == itemB:
            print("Match!")

Your original for-loop was getting the values from the inventory dictionary as a list rather than a string when you iterated through the values. Since it returned a list, you will need to iterate through those values as well. This should get you running:

inventory = {
    "fruits": ["apples", "mangos",]
}

items = {
    "apples": [3, 5],
    "mangos": [4, 6],
}

for value in inventory.values():
    for item_a in value:
        if item_a in items.keys():
            print("Match!")

However, you could just merge the two dictionaries.

inventory = {
    "fruits": {
        "apples": [3, 5],
        "mangos": [4, 6],
    }
}
