Python implementation of the patiencediff algorithm
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 (_patiencediff_c.c); this implementation
  is faster, but requires a C compiler and is less readable.

It may also be called from the command line:
- python3 -m patiencediff file_a file_b
