R. David Murray 1a14d3d169 Issue #7585: use tab between components in unified and context diff headers.
Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string
is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs.  This is what the unix
'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow
the 'standard' way of doing diffs.  This improves compatibility with
patch tools.  The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that
the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff
tools emit by default.

Patch by Anatoly Techtonik.

Senthil Kumaran 5c456e6f45 Fix for issue1488943 - difflib.Differ() doesn't always add hints for tab
characters.

Gustavo Niemeyer 548148810b Patch #1413711: Certain patterns of differences were making difflib
touch the recursion limit. The applied patch inlines the recursive
__helper method in a non-recursive way.

Tim Peters 48bd7f3a71 Whitespace normalization. test_difflib passes again. 2004-08-29 22:38:38 +00:00
Tim Peters afb5f94217 Reverting whitespace normalization. test_difflib fails with it -- the
test depends on invisible trailing whitespace in .py files.  The author will
have to repair that.

Martin v. Löwis e064b41f5a Patch #914575: difflib side by side diff support, diff.py s/b/s HTML option. 2004-08-29 16:34:40 +00:00
Brett Cannon d2c5b4b549 SequenceMatcher(None, [], []).get_grouped_opcodes() now returns a generator
that behaves as if both lists has an empty string in each of them.

Closes bug #979794 (and duplicate bug #980117).

Raymond Hettinger 43d790c087 Exercise Jim Fulton's new doctest extension for running doctests in a
unittest environment.  Since his extension finds docstrings in private
functions, it exposed a bug in the difflib doctests.

Barry Warsaw 04f357cffe Get rid of relative imports in all unittests. Now anything that
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".

This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).

Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)

Tim Peters a0a6222509 Teach regrtest how to pass on doctest failure msgs. This is done via a
horridly inefficient hack in regrtest's Compare class, but it's about as
clean as can be:  regrtest has to set up the Compare instance before
importing a test module, and by the time the module *is* imported it's too
late to change that decision.  The good news is that the more tests we
convert to unittest and doctest, the less the inefficiency here matters.
Even now there are few tests with large expected-output files (the new
cost here is a Python-level call per .write() when there's an expected-
output file).

Tim Peters f5f6c436c6 Remove test_doctest's expected-output file.
Change test_doctest and test_difflib to pass regrtest's notion of
verbosity on to doctest.
Add explanation for a dozen "new" things to test/README.

Tim Peters dec4a6143c Remove test_difflib's output file and change test_difflib to stop
generating it.  Since this is purely a doctest, the output file never
served a good purpose.

Tim Peters 9ae2148ada Moved SequenceMatcher from ndiff into new std library module difflib.py.
Guido told me to do this <wink>.
Greatly expanded docstrings, and fleshed out with examples.
New std test.
Added new get_close_matches() function for ESR.
Needs docs, but LaTeXification of the module docstring is all it needs.
