Right -- though difflib did show _some_ lines as changed rather
than deleted/added, it wasn't obvious how it decided between
the two. I suspect it used some sort of percentage-changed
threshold.
For this application both files had all the same lines (by
definition), so what I was interested in was what parts of each
line changed.
