I want a library that does unix 'diff' like function, i.e. compare two
strings line by line and output the difference. Python's difflib does
not work perfectly for me, because the resulting differences are
pretty big. I would like an algorithm that generates the smallest
differences.

Can you give a *short* example, showing the output f

Hi All,
I am looking for an algorithm that can compare to source code files
line by line and find the minimum diff. I have looked at the difflib
included in python. The problem is that it is designed to make the
diff results easier for humans to read, instead of minimize the size
of the output dif
