如何以統一的diff格式打印兩個多行字符串的比較？

Question

您知道有任何圖書館可以幫助您做到這一點嗎？

我將編寫一個函數，以統一的diff格式打印兩個多行字符串之間的差異。 像這樣：

def print_differences(string1, string2):
    """
    Prints the comparison of string1 to string2 as unified diff format.
    """
    ???

用法示例如下：

string1="""
Usage: trash-empty [days]

Purge trashed files.

Options:
  --version   show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
"""

string2="""
Usage: trash-empty [days]

Empty the trash can.

Options:
  --version   show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Report bugs to http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/issues
"""

print_differences(string1, string2)

這應該打印如下內容：

--- string1 
+++ string2 
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
 Usage: trash-empty [days]

-Purge trashed files.
+Empty the trash can.

 Options:
   --version   show program's version number and exit

Answer 1

這是我解決的方法：

def _unidiff_output(expected, actual):
    """
    Helper function. Returns a string containing the unified diff of two multiline strings.
    """

    import difflib
    expected=expected.splitlines(1)
    actual=actual.splitlines(1)

    diff=difflib.unified_diff(expected, actual)

    return ''.join(diff)

您是否看過內置的python模塊difflib ？ 看看這個例子
