Description: This package contains the implementation of the ``patiencediff`` algorithm, as
        `first described <https://bramcohen.livejournal.com/73318.html>`_ by Bram Cohen.
        
        Like Python's ``difflib``, this module provides both a convience ``unified_diff``
        function for the generation of unified diffs of text files
        as well as a SequenceMatcher that can be used on arbitrary lists.
        
        Patiencediff provides a good balance of performance, nice output for humans,
        and implementation simplicity.
        
        The code in this package was extracted from the `Bazaar <https://www.bazaar-vcs.org/>`_
        code base.
        
        The package comes with two implementations:
        
        * A Python implementation (_patiencediff_py.py); this implementation only
          requires a Python interpreter and is the more readable version of the two
        
        * A C implementation implementation (_patiencediff_c.c); this implementation
          is faster, but requires a C compiler and is less readable
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        To invoke patiencediff from the command-line::
        
            python -m patiencediff file_a file_b
        
        Or from Python:
        
             >>> import patiencediff
             >>> print ''.join(patiencediff.unified_diff(
             ...      ['a\n', 'b\n', 'b\n', 'c\n'],
             ...      ['a\n', 'c\n', 'b\n']))
