"""

SequenceMatcher is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of

any type, so long as the sequence elements are hashable. The basic

algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm

published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the

hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching". The basic idea is to find

the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"

elements (R-O doesn't address junk). The same idea is then applied

recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right

of the matching subsequence. This does not yield minimal edit

sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.

SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two

sequences. Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the

longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence. That's what

catches peoples' eyes. The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting

notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.

That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference

reports than does diff. This method appears to be the least vulnerable

to syncing up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in

ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files). That may be

because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of

"junk" <wink>.

Example, comparing two strings, and considering blanks to be "junk":

>>> s = SequenceMatcher(lambda x: x == " ",

... "private Thread currentThread;",

... "private volatile Thread currentThread;")

>>>

.ratio() returns a float in [0, 1], measuring the "similarity" of the

sequences. As a rule of thumb, a .ratio() value over 0.6 means the

sequences are close matches:

>>> print(round(s.ratio(), 2))

0.87

>>>

If you're only interested in where the sequences match,

.get_matching_blocks() is handy:

>>> for block in s.get_matching_blocks():

... print("a[%d] and b[%d] match for %d elements" % block)

a[0] and b[0] match for 8 elements

a[8] and b[17] match for 21 elements

a[29] and b[38] match for 0 elements

Note that the last tuple returned by .get_matching_blocks() is always a

dummy, (len(a), len(b), 0), and this is the only case in which the last

tuple element (number of elements matched) is 0.

If you want to know how to change the first sequence into the second,

use .get_opcodes():

>>> for opcode in s.get_opcodes():

... print("%6s a[%d:%d] b[%d:%d]" % opcode)

equal a[0:8] b[0:8]

insert a[8:8] b[8:17]

equal a[8:29] b[17:38]

See the Differ class for a fancy human-friendly file differencer, which

uses SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare

sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.

See also function get_close_matches() in this module, which shows how

simple code building on SequenceMatcher can be used to do useful work.

Timing: Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected

case. SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has

expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many

elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.

class Differ:

r"""

Differ is a class for comparing sequences of lines of text, and

producing human-readable differences or deltas. Differ uses

SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare

sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.

Each line of a Differ delta begins with a two-letter code:

'- ' line unique to sequence 1

'+ ' line unique to sequence 2

' ' line common to both sequences

'? ' line not present in either input sequence

Lines beginning with '? ' attempt to guide the eye to intraline

differences, and were not present in either input sequence. These lines

can be confusing if the sequences contain tab characters.

Note that Differ makes no claim to produce a *minimal* diff. To the

contrary, minimal diffs are often counter-intuitive, because they synch

up anywhere possible, sometimes accidental matches 100 pages apart.

Restricting synch points to contiguous matches preserves some notion of

locality, at the occasional cost of producing a longer diff.

Example: Comparing two texts.

First we set up the texts, sequences of individual single-line strings

ending with newlines (such sequences can also be obtained from the

`readlines()` method of file-like objects):

>>> text1 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.

... 2. Explicit is better than implicit.

... 3. Simple is better than complex.

... 4. Complex is better than complicated.

... '''.splitlines(keepends=True)

>>> len(text1)

4

>>> text1[0][-1]

'\n'

>>> text2 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.

... 3. Simple is better than complex.

... 4. Complicated is better than complex.

... 5. Flat is better than nested.

... '''.splitlines(keepends=True)

Next we instantiate a Differ object:

>>> d = Differ()

Note that when instantiating a Differ object we may pass functions to

filter out line and character 'junk'. See Differ.__init__ for details.

Finally, we compare the two:

>>> result = list(d.compare(text1, text2))

'result' is a list of strings, so let's pretty-print it:

>>> from pprint import pprint as _pprint

>>> _pprint(result)

[' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.\n',

'- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.\n',

'- 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',

'+ 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',

'? ++\n',

'- 4. Complex is better than complicated.\n',

'? ^ ---- ^\n',

'+ 4. Complicated is better than complex.\n',

'? ++++ ^ ^\n',

'+ 5. Flat is better than nested.\n']

As a single multi-line string it looks like this:

>>> print(''.join(result), end="")

1. Beautiful is better than ugly.

- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.

- 3. Simple is better than complex.

+ 3. Simple is better than complex.

? ++

- 4. Complex is better than complicated.

? ^ ---- ^

+ 4. Complicated is better than complex.

? ++++ ^ ^

+ 5. Flat is better than nested.

"""

Construct a text differencer, with optional filters.

The two optional keyword parameters are for filter functions:

- `linejunk`: A function that should accept a single string argument,

and return true iff the string is junk. The module-level function

`IS_LINE_JUNK` may be used to filter out lines without visible

characters, except for at most one splat ('#'). It is recommended

to leave linejunk None; the underlying SequenceMatcher class has

an adaptive notion of "noise" lines that's better than any static

definition the author has ever been able to craft.

- `charjunk`: A function that should accept a string of length 1. The

module-level function `IS_CHARACTER_JUNK` may be used to filter out

whitespace characters (a blank or tab; **note**: bad idea to include

newline in this!). Use of IS_CHARACTER_JUNK is recommended.

Compare two sequences of lines; generate the resulting delta.

Each sequence must contain individual single-line strings ending with

newlines. Such sequences can be obtained from the `readlines()` method

of file-like objects. The delta generated also consists of newline-

terminated strings, ready to be printed as-is via the writelines()

method of a file-like object.

Example:

>>> print(''.join(Differ().compare('one\ntwo\nthree\n'.splitlines(True),

... 'ore\ntree\nemu\n'.splitlines(True))),
