Python implementation of the patiencediff algorithm
Description:
This package contains the implementation of the patiencediff algorithm, as
first described by Bram Cohen.
Like Python's difflib, this module provides both a convience unified_diff
function for the generation of unified diffs of text files as well as a
SequenceMatcher that can be used on arbitrary lists.
Patiencediff provides a good balance of performance, nice output for humans,
and implementation simplicity.
The code in this package was extracted from the Bazaar code base.
The package comes with two implementations:
- A Python implementation (_patiencediff_py.py); this implementation only
requires a Python interpreter and is the more readable version of the two
- A C implementation implementation (_patiencediff_c.c); this implementation is
faster, but requires a C compiler and is less readable
