lightweight diff-file library with difflib

• something like git-diff but without git
• programmable
• dirs and files

pip install difile

difile compare_file file1.txt file2.txt
difile compare_dir dir1 dir2

or a short name:

difile cf file1.txt file2.txt
difile cd dir1 dir2

compare files and get a List[Line] object:

from difile import Difile
difile = Difile()

diff_obj = difile.compare_file("dirs/dir1/file1.txt", "dirs/dir2/file1.txt")

and you can see what happened between files:

for each in diff_obj:
    print(each.line_no, each.code, each.file_path, each.content.strip())

get:

1 -  tests/dirs/dir1/file1.txt no
1 +  tests/dirs/dir2/file1.txt difile
2 -  tests/dirs/dir1/file1.txt this is file1
2 +  tests/dirs/dir2/file1.txt that is file1
3 -  tests/dirs/dir1/file1.txt random
3 +  tests/dirs/dir2/file1.txt
4 -  tests/dirs/dir1/file1.txt aha

• line 1: no -> difile
• line 2: this is file1 -> that is file1
• line 3: random -> enter
• line 4: has been removed

of course compare dirs:

from difile import Difile
difile = Difile()

diff_obj = difile.compare_dir("dirs/dir1", "dirs/dir2")

you will get a List[List[Line]] object.
