New submission from Brice Videau <brice.vid...@gmail.com>:
unified_diff seems to lose the context when comparing the 2 files contained in
the attached archive using this script :
import difflib
b1 = open("out1.short","r").read().splitlines(True)
b2 = open("out2.short","r").read().splitlines(True)
compare = difflib.unified_diff(b1,b2)
for line in compare:
print line,
a big chunk of lines is considered as removed, just to be added next (around
line 16).
Comparing out2.short against out1.short does not produce this behavior :
compare = difflib.unified_diff(b2,b1)
is "correct".
Other diff tools such as diff or vimdiff do not exhibit this problem.
