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 syncing 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 21 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[8:29] b[17:38] 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.

Optional arg isjunk is None (the default), or a one-argument function that takes a sequence element and returns true iff the element is junk. None is equivalent to passing "lambda x: 0", i.e. no elements are considered to be junk.

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(keepends=True) >>> 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(keepends=True) 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), end="") 1. Beautiful is better than ugly. - 2. Explicit is better than implicit. - 3.

This class can be used to create an HTML table (or a complete HTML file containing the table) showing a side by side, line by line comparison of text with inter-line and intra-line change highlights. The table can be generated in either full or contextual difference mode. The following methods are provided for HTML generation: make_table -- generates HTML for a single side by side table make_file -- generates complete HTML file with a single side by side table See tools/scripts/diff.py for an example usage of this class.
