Hi, I'm using patch from with a python script, and I was thinking of parsing the output to extract information about what was patched and what failed, so I can express it via my programs GUI.
Is there a better way of interacting with it? Or a library? Text output is not strictly an API at all, let alone a stable one :P and I worry that the output of patch won't remain the way it is now, especially error messages. (I don't think that patch is translated by any major distro, so that's probably ignorable.) Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Jason Heeris
