"""
SequenceMatcher is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of
any type, so long as the sequence elements are hashable. The basic
algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm
published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the
hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching". The basic idea is to find
the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
elements (R-O doesn't address junk). The same idea is then applied
recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right
of the matching subsequence. This does not yield minimal edit
sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two
sequences. Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the
longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence. That's what
catches peoples' eyes. The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting
notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.
That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference
reports than does diff. This method appears to be the least vulnerable
to synching up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in
ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files). That may be
because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of
"junk" <wink>.
Example, comparing two strings, and considering blanks to be "junk":
>>> s = SequenceMatcher(lambda x: x == " ",
... "private Thread currentThread;",
... "private volatile Thread currentThread;")
>>>
.ratio() returns a float in [0, 1], measuring the "similarity" of the
sequences. As a rule of thumb, a .ratio() value over 0.6 means the
sequences are close matches:
>>> print(round(s.ratio(), 3))
0.866
>>>
If you're only interested in where the sequences match,
.get_matching_blocks() is handy:
>>> for block in s.get_matching_blocks():
... print("a[%d] and b[%d] match for %d elements" % block)
a[0] and b[0] match for 8 elements
a[8] and b[17] match for 21 elements
a[29] and b[38] match for 0 elements
Note that the last tuple returned by .get_matching_blocks() is always a
dummy, (len(a), len(b), 0), and this is the only case in which the last
tuple element (number of elements matched) is 0.
If you want to know how to change the first sequence into the second,
use .get_opcodes():
>>> for opcode in s.get_opcodes():
... print("%6s a[%d:%d] b[%d:%d]" % opcode)
equal a[0:8] b[0:8]
insert a[8:8] b[8:17]
equal a[8:29] b[17:38]
See the Differ class for a fancy human-friendly file differencer, which
uses SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare
sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.
See also function get_close_matches() in this module, which shows how
simple code building on SequenceMatcher can be used to do useful work.
Timing: Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected
case. SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has
expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many
elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.
Methods:
__init__(isjunk=None, a='', b='')
Construct a SequenceMatcher.
set_seqs(a, b)
Set the two sequences to be compared.
set_seq1(a)
Set the first sequence to be compared.
set_seq2(b)
Set the second sequence to be compared.
find_longest_match(alo, ahi, blo, bhi)
Find longest matching block in a[alo:ahi] and b[blo:bhi].
get_matching_blocks()
Return list of triples describing matching subsequences.
get_opcodes()
Return list of 5-tuples describing how to turn a into b.
ratio()
Return a measure of the sequences' similarity (float in [0,1]).
quick_ratio()
Return an upper bound on .ratio() relatively quickly.
real_quick_ratio()
Return an upper bound on ratio() very quickly.

Optional arg isjunk is None (the default), or a one-argument
function that takes a sequence element and returns true iff the

lambda x: x in " \\t"

want to synch up on blanks or hard tabs.
Optional arg a is the first of two sequences to be compared. By
default, an empty string. The elements of a must be hashable. See
also .set_seqs() and .set_seq1().
Optional arg b is the second of two sequences to be compared. By
default, an empty string. The elements of b must be hashable. See
also .set_seqs() and .set_seq2().
Optional arg autojunk should be set to False to disable the
"automatic junk heuristic" that treats popular elements as junk

class Differ:
r"""
Differ is a class for comparing sequences of lines of text, and
producing human-readable differences or deltas. Differ uses
SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare
sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.
Each line of a Differ delta begins with a two-letter code:
'- ' line unique to sequence 1
'+ ' line unique to sequence 2
' ' line common to both sequences
'? ' line not present in either input sequence
Lines beginning with '? ' attempt to guide the eye to intraline
differences, and were not present in either input sequence. These lines
can be confusing if the sequences contain tab characters.
Note that Differ makes no claim to produce a *minimal* diff. To the
contrary, minimal diffs are often counter-intuitive, because they synch
up anywhere possible, sometimes accidental matches 100 pages apart.
Restricting synch points to contiguous matches preserves some notion of
locality, at the occasional cost of producing a longer diff.
Example: Comparing two texts.
First we set up the texts, sequences of individual single-line strings
ending with newlines (such sequences can also be obtained from the
`readlines()` method of file-like objects):
>>> text1 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
... 2. Explicit is better than implicit.
... 3. Simple is better than complex.
... 4. Complex is better than complicated.
... '''.splitlines(keepends=True)
>>> len(text1)
4
>>> text1[0][-1]
'\n'
>>> text2 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
... 3. Simple is better than complex.
... 4. Complicated is better than complex.
... 5. Flat is better than nested.
... '''.splitlines(keepends=True)
Next we instantiate a Differ object:
>>> d = Differ()
Note that when instantiating a Differ object we may pass functions to
filter out line and character 'junk'. See Differ.__init__ for details.
Finally, we compare the two:
>>> result = list(d.compare(text1, text2))
'result' is a list of strings, so let's pretty-print it:
>>> from pprint import pprint as _pprint
>>> _pprint(result)
[' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.\n',
'- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.\n',
'- 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',
'+ 3. Simple is better than complex.\n',
'? ++\n',
'- 4. Complex is better than complicated.\n',
'? ^ ---- ^\n',
'+ 4. Complicated is better than complex.\n',
'? ++++ ^ ^\n',
'+ 5. Flat is better than nested.\n']
As a single multi-line string it looks like this:
>>> print(''.join(result), end="")
1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
- 2. Explicit is better than implicit.
- 3. Simple is better than complex.
+ 3. Simple is better than complex.
? ++
- 4. Complex is better than complicated.

When replacing one block of lines with another, search the blocks
for *similar* lines; the best-matching pair (if any) is used as a
synch point, and intraline difference marking is done on the
similar pair. Lots of work, but often worth it.
Example:
>>> d = Differ()
>>> results = d._fancy_replace(['abcDefghiJkl\n'], 0, 1,
... ['abcdefGhijkl\n'], 0, 1)
>>> print(''.join(results), end="")
- abcDefghiJkl
