Package python3-module-patiencediff: Information

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
