"""
|
|
SequenceMatcher is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of
|
|
any type, so long as the sequence elements are hashable. The basic
|
|
algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm
|
|
published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the
|
|
hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching". The basic idea is to find
|
|
the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
|
|
elements (R-O doesn't address junk). The same idea is then applied
|
|
recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right
|
|
of the matching subsequence. This does not yield minimal edit
|
|
sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
|
|
|
|
SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two
|
|
sequences. Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the
|
|
longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence. That's what
|
|
catches peoples' eyes. The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting
|
|
notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.
|
|
That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference
|
|
reports than does diff. This method appears to be the least vulnerable
|
|
to synching up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in
|
|
ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files). That may be
|
|
because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of
|
|
"junk" <wink>.
|
|
|
|
Example, comparing two strings, and considering blanks to be "junk":
|
|
|
|
>>> s = SequenceMatcher(lambda x: x == " ",
|
|
... "private Thread currentThread;",
|
|
... "private volatile Thread currentThread;")
|
|
>>>
|
|
|
|
.ratio() returns a float in [0, 1], measuring the "similarity" of the
|
|
sequences. As a rule of thumb, a .ratio() value over 0.6 means the
|
|
sequences are close matches:
|
|
|
|
>>> print round(s.ratio(), 3)
|
|
0.866
|
|
>>>
|
|
|
|
If you're only interested in where the sequences match,
|
|
.get_matching_blocks() is handy:
|
|
|
|
>>> for block in s.get_matching_blocks():
|
|
... print "a[%d] and b[%d] match for %d elements" % block
|
|
a[0] and b[0] match for 8 elements
|
|
a[8] and b[17] match for 6 elements
|
|
a[14] and b[23] match for 15 elements
|
|
a[29] and b[38] match for 0 elements
|
|
|
|
Note that the last tuple returned by .get_matching_blocks() is always a
|
|
dummy, (len(a), len(b), 0), and this is the only case in which the last
|
|
tuple element (number of elements matched) is 0.
|
|
|
|
If you want to know how to change the first sequence into the second,
|
|
use .get_opcodes():
|
|
|
|
>>> for opcode in s.get_opcodes():
|
|
... print "%6s a[%d:%d] b[%d:%d]" % opcode
|
|
equal a[0:8] b[0:8]
|
|
insert a[8:8] b[8:17]
|
|
equal a[8:14] b[17:23]
|
|
equal a[14:29] b[23:38]
|
|
|
|
See the Differ class for a fancy human-friendly file differencer, which
|
|
uses SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare
|
|
sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.
|
|
|
|
See also function get_close_matches() in this module, which shows how
|
|
simple code building on SequenceMatcher can be used to do useful work.
|
|
|
|
Timing: Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected
|
|
case. SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has
|
|
expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many
|
|
elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.

class Differ:
|
|
r"""
|
|
Differ is a class for comparing sequences of lines of text, and
|
|
producing human-readable differences or deltas. Differ uses
|
|
SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare
|
|
sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.
|
|
|
|
Each line of a Differ delta begins with a two-letter code:
|
|
|
|
'- ' line unique to sequence 1
|
|
'+ ' line unique to sequence 2
|
|
' ' line common to both sequences
|
|
'? ' line not present in either input sequence
|
|
|
|
Lines beginning with '? ' attempt to guide the eye to intraline
|
|
differences, and were not present in either input sequence. These lines
|
|
can be confusing if the sequences contain tab characters.
|
|
|
|
Note that Differ makes no claim to produce a *minimal* diff. To the
|
|
contrary, minimal diffs are often counter-intuitive, because they synch
|
|
up anywhere possible, sometimes accidental matches 100 pages apart.
|
|
Restricting synch points to contiguous matches preserves some notion of
|
|
locality, at the occasional cost of producing a longer diff.
|
|
|
|
Example: Comparing two texts.
|
|
|
|
First we set up the texts, sequences of individual single-line strings
|
|
ending with newlines (such sequences can also be obtained from the
|
|
`readlines()` method of file-like objects):
|
|
|
|
>>> text1 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
|
|
... 2. Explicit is better than implicit.
|
|
... 3. Simple is better than complex.
|
|
... 4. Complex is better than complicated.
|
|
... '''.splitlines(1)
|
|
>>> len(text1)
|
|
4
|
|
>>> text1[0][-1]
|
|
'\n'
|
|
>>> text2 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
|
|
... 3. Simple is better than complex.
|
|
... 4. Complicated is better than complex.
|
|
... 5. Flat is better than nested.
|
|
... '''.splitlines(1)
|
|
|
|
Next we instantiate a Differ object:
|
|
|
|
>>> d = Differ()
|
|
|
|
Note that when instantiating a Differ object we may pass functions to
|
|
filter out line and character 'junk'. See Differ.__init__ for details.
|
|
|
|
Finally, we compare the two:
|
|
|
|
>>> result = list(d.compare(text1, text2))
|
|
|
|
'result' is a list of strings, so let's pretty-print it:
|
|
|
|
>>> from pprint import pprint as _pprint
|
|
>>> _pprint(result)
|
|
[' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.\n',
|
|
'- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.\n',
|
|
'- 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',
|
|
'+ 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',
|
|
'? ++\n',
|
|
'- 4. Complex is better than complicated.\n',
|
|
'? ^ ---- ^\n',
|
|
'+ 4. Complicated is better than complex.\n',
|
|
'? ++++ ^ ^\n',
|
|
'+ 5. Flat is better than nested.\n']
|
|
|
|
As a single multi-line string it looks like this:
|
|
|
|
>>> print ''.join(result),
|
|
1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
|
|
- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.
|
|
- 3. Simple is better than complex.
|
|
+ 3. Simple is better than complex.
|
|
? ++
|
|
- 4. Complex is better than complicated.
|
|
? ^ ---- ^
|
|
+ 4. Complicated is better than complex.
|
|
? ++++ ^ ^
|
|
+ 5. Flat is better than nested.

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 module-level function
|
|
IS_LINE_JUNK, which filters out lines without visible characters, except
|
|
for at most one splat ('#').
|
|
|
|
- charjunk: A function that should accept a string of length 1. The
|
|
default is module-level function IS_CHARACTER_JUNK, which filters out
|
|
whitespace characters (a blank or tab; note: bad idea to include newline
|
|
in this!).
|
|
|
|
Tools/scripts/ndiff.py is a command-line front-end to this function.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
>>> diff = ndiff('one\ntwo\nthree\n'.splitlines(1),
|
|
... 'ore\ntree\nemu\n'.splitlines(1))
|
