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.
