New submission from Brian: It would be a helpful feature to incorporate logic into the difflib module to optionally identify and ignore identical, but relocated lines when doing a diff. This would be used when the order of lines in a document is not critical, but rather just the overall content. The Notepad++ Compare plug-in has this feature for reference.
I would be willing to help submit a patch for this change. The only drawbacks I see using this function is it will either have to increase processing time or increase memory usage. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 239416 nosy: bkiefer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Identify Moved Lines with difflib type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23791> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
