Command line sdiff can do this. I almost think Paste should default to using it if it was available (it's on most unix boxes), but unfortunately, Windows of course doesn't have it. Maybe one day someone will make a pure python version. I'm sure there's GUI apps that can do what sdiff does (if not vimdiff or kompare, I'm not sure what they provide). Allowing a custom diff would at least let you use any one of these -- Philip Jenvey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
