You might try PyHamcrest (Example corrected)

assert_that(obj.exportToDict(), has_entries(
                                    { 'state': 2347,
                                      'neighbours': contains_inanyorder(1,2,3) }))

(The first value 2347 actually gets wrapped in an implicit equal_to matcher.)
