jsondiff.diff returns a list instead of dict when loaded through OrderDict

[mapreri]

With the two attached jsons (renamed to .txt to appease github…) trying to run jsondiff.diff on them returns a list.

In my applications I already previously loaded the jsons since I'm doing some processing on them before handling them over to jsondiff, and we need to use OrderedDict for that.

transcriptions:

In [1]: import json

In [2]: import jsondiff

In [3]: import collections

In [4]: with open('1.json') as f:
   ...:     a = json.load(f, object_pairs_hook=collections.OrderedDict)
   ...:     

In [5]: with open('2.json') as f:
   ...:     b = json.load(f, object_pairs_hook=collections.OrderedDict)
   ...:     

In [6]: type(jsondiff.diff(a, b))
Out[6]: list

In [7]: jsondiff.diff(a, b)
Out[7]: 
[OrderedDict([('id', '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/bar.js'),
              ('source',
               'module.exports = function (n) {\n    return n * 100;\n};\n'),
              ('deps', OrderedDict()),
              ('file',
               '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/bar.js')]),
 OrderedDict([('id', '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/foo.js'),
              ('source',
               "var bar = require('./bar');\n\nmodule.exports = function (n) {\n    return n * 111 + bar(n);\n};\n"),
              ('deps',
               OrderedDict([('./bar',
                             '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/bar.js')])),
              ('file',
               '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/foo.js')]),
 OrderedDict([('file',
               '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/main.js'),
              ('id',
               '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/main.js'),
              ('source',
               "var foo = require('./foo');\nconsole.log('main: ' + foo(5));\n"),
              ('deps',
               OrderedDict([('./foo',
                             '/build/node-module-deps-6.1.0/2nd/example/files/foo.js')])),
              ('entry', True)])]

Is this expected? I always saw dicts being returned by jsondiff, and also I can't spot anything in jsondiff's code that obviously returns a list out of itself.
