[issue20971] HTML output of difflib

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Yes, you could make patches for Python 3.5 and release a PyPI package that 
includes these changes and it's compatible with older versions.  The same has 
been done for other modules as well (e.g. unittest2 includes features that are 
available on recent versions of Python but it's compatible with older versions 
too).
The reason why we can't add this to 2.7 (or even 3.4) is because they only 
receive bug fixes (and older versions only receive security fixes).  Since 
there won't be a 2.8, new features can only go on 3.5.  You can find more 
information about this on the devguide.

Why we can't add this in 2.7?
Major projects and OS supporting 2.7 now and I am updating this because I am 
need of feature for 2.7.

Can't we do it like release new version with new name(or something like). If 
one wants to download it, he/she can download using pip and make it default in 
python 3.5?

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

This is a new feature, so it can go only in 3.5.
Updating the generated HTML sounds like a good idea, however we must consider 
if this might cause any problems related to backward compatibility.
If you are going to do this, please use (valid) HTML5.
