Apply a list of patches onto plain text.Given a search string, find its best fuzzy match in a block of plain text.Compare two blocks of plain text and efficiently return a list of differences.Operations required for synchronizing plain text.
The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the patch_apply ( patches, text ) Original README patch_fromText ( diff ) new_text, _ = dmp. patch_toText ( patches )Īpplying a patchset to a text can then be done with: from diff_match_patch import diff_match_patch dmp = diff_match_patch () patches = dmp. Generating a patchset (analogous to unified diff) between two texts: from diff_match_patch import diff_match_patch dmp = diff_match_patch () patches = dmp. You can install it from PyPI: python -m pip install diff-match-patch Google's Diff Match and Patch library, packaged for modern Python.ĭiff-match-patch is supported on Python 2.7 or Python 3.4 or newer.
