difflib.ndiff() — Python Standard Library
difflib.ndiff(a, b, linejunk=None, charjunk=<function IS_CHARACTER_JUNK>)[source]¶ · Compare a and b (lists of strings); return a Differ-style delta. Optional keyword parameters linejunk and charjunk are for filter functions (or None): linejunk: A function that should accept a single string argument, and return true iff the string is junk. The default is None, and is recommended; as of Python 2.3, an adaptive notion of “noise” lines is used that does a good job on its own.

.. method:: __init__(tabsize=8, wrapcolumn=None, linejunk=None, charjunk=IS_CHARACTER_JUNK) Initializes instance of :class:`HtmlDiff`. *tabsize* is an optional keyword argument to specify tab stop spacing and defaults to ``8``. *wrapcolumn* is an optional keyword to specify column number where lines are broken and wrapped, defaults to ``None`` where lines are not wrapped. *linejunk* and *charjunk* are optional keyword arguments passed into :func:`ndiff` (used by :class:`HtmlDiff` to generate the side by side HTML differences).

Some things it doesn't have: Python difflib's Differ class, and the ndiff or restore functions (maybe someday). It also hasn't been performance tuned. It has some ugly bits of code that look a little Pythonesque.

Dear DiffLib | Random Thoughts
August 1, 2013 - Let see a common example in python where when you add a function with a derorator, the decorator is often added to the "next" function. In [2]: s1 = """ @decorate def fun1(): return 1 @decorate def fun3(): return 3 """ s2 = """ @decorate def fun1(): return 1 @decorate def fun2(): return 2 @decorate def fun3(): return 3 """ Classical diff · In [3]: import difflib print ''.join(difflib.ndiff(s1.splitlines(1), s2.splitlines(1))) @decorate def fun1(): return 1 @decorate + def fun2(): + return 2 + + @decorate def fun3(): return 3 ·
