class Differ(a, b, ignore_space=False, compat_version=None)[source]¶

Base class for differs.

add_interesting_line_regex(name, regex)[source]¶

Registers a regular expression used to look for interesting lines.

All interesting lines found that match the regular expression will be stored and tagged with the given name. Callers can use get_interesting_lines to get the results.

add_interesting_lines_for_headers(filename)[source]¶

Registers for interesting lines for headers based on filename.

This is a convenience over add_interesting_line_regex that will watch for headers (functions, clases, etc.) for the file type matching the given filename.

get_interesting_lines(name, is_modified_file)[source]¶

Returns the interesting lines tagged with the given name.

get_differ(a, b, ignore_space=False, compat_version=2)[source]¶

Returns a differ for with the given settings.

By default, this will return the MyersDiffer. Older differs can be used by specifying a compat_version, but this is only for really ancient diffs, currently.
