It would be a helpful feature to incorporate logic into the difflib module to optionally identify and ignore identical, but relocated lines when doing a diff. This would be used when the order of lines in a document is not critical, but rather just the overall content. The Notepad++ Compare plug-in has this feature for reference.
I would be willing to help submit a patch for this change. The only drawbacks I see using this function is it will either have to increase processing time or increase memory usage. |
