Python difflib сравнение файлов

Я пытаюсь использовать difflib для создания diff для двух текстовых файлов, содержащих твиты. Вот код:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# difflib_test

import difflib

file1 = open('/home/saad/Code/test/new_tweets', 'r')
file2 = open('/home/saad/PTITVProgs', 'r')

diff = difflib.context_diff(file1.readlines(), file2.readlines())
delta = ''.join(diff)
print delta

Вот текстовый файл PTITVProgs:

Как вы можете видеть, быстро сравнивая два исходных файла (PTITVProgs и new_tweets), что разница между ними 3 твита, которые были 7 апреля и 3 твита 3 апреля.

Я просто хочу, чтобы строки в new_tweets, которые не были в PTITVProgs, отображались в diff.

Но он бросает кучу текста, который я не хочу видеть. Я не знаю, что *** 1,7*** и *** 1,3*** в стойке для вывода diff...? Каким образом можно получить только измененные строки?

Ответ 1

Просто проанализируйте вывод diff как это (измените '-' на '+', если необходимо):

#!/usr/bin/env python

# difflib_test

import difflib

file1 = open('/home/saad/Code/test/new_tweets', 'r')
file2 = open('/home/saad/PTITVProgs', 'r')

diff = difflib.ndiff(file1.readlines(), file2.readlines())
delta = ''.join(x[2:] for x in diff if x.startswith('- '))
print delta

Ответ 2

В библиотеке difflib существует несколько стилей различий, и для них существуют разные функции. unified_diff, ndiff и context_diff.

Если вам не нужны сводки номеров строк, функция ndiff дает дельта дифференциального стиля:

import difflib

f1 = '''1
2
3
4
5'''
f2 = '''1
3
4
5
6'''

diff = difflib.ndiff(f1,f2)

for l in diff:
    print(l)

Вывод:

  1
- 2          
  3          
  4          
  5   
+ 6

EDIT:

Вы также можете проанализировать diff, чтобы извлекать только изменения, если это вам нужно:

>>>changes = [l for l in diff if l.startswith('+ ') or l.startswith('- ')]

>>>for c in changes:
       print(c)
>>>
- 2
+ 6
