python difflib比较文件

Question

我正在尝试使用 difflib 为两个包含推文的文本文件生成差异。代码如下：

#!/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

这是PTITVProgs 文本文件：

通过快速比较两个源文件（PTITVProgs 和 new_tweets）可以看出，它们之间的区别是 4 月 7 日的 3 条推文和 4 月 3 日的 3 条推文。

我只希望new_tweets 中不在PTITVProgs 中的行出现在差异中。

但它会抛出一堆我不想看到的文本。我不知道差异输出中的*** 1,7*** 和*** 1,3*** 代表什么......？ 仅获得更改的行的正确方法是什么？

Answer 1

difflib 库中有多种 diff 样式和不同的函数。 unified_diff、ndiff 和 context_diff。

如果您不想要行号摘要，ndiff 函数会给出不同样式的增量：

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)

输出：

  1
- 2          
  3          
  4          
  5   
+ 6

编辑：

您也可以解析差异以仅提取您想要的更改：

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

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

Answer 2

只需像这样解析 diff 的输出（如果需要，将 '-' 更改为 '+'）：

#!/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
