* Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:Tim Peters2002-04-291-14/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now. While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider this experimental. Please give it a try!
* writeline() --> writelines()Fred Drake2001-11-291-1/+1
| | | | This closes SF bug #487147.
* Enforce a bit of markup consistency.Fred Drake2001-10-261-13/+12
| | | | | | When describing a Boolean return value, use "true" and "false" instead of "1" and "0". Style-guide conformance: no "iff" -- to obscure for many readers. ;-(
* Make difflib.ndiff() and difflib.Differ.compare() generators. ThisTim Peters2001-09-221-12/+14
| | | | | restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing output before the entire comparison is complete.
* David Goodger <dgoodger@atsautomation.com>:Fred Drake2001-08-131-27/+240
| | | | | | | Documentation for difflib/ndiff refactoring: more of the ndiff functionality has been moved to the underlying library (difflib). This closes SF patch #445413.
* --sigh--Fred Drake2001-05-111-1/+1
| | | | | Finish the last set of changes to these files so the conversion does not break.
* Replace "\begin{classdesc}{SomeClass}{\unspecified}" withFred Drake2001-05-111-1/+3
| | | | | "\begin{classdesc*}{SomeClass}" -- the rendering of \unspecified was identical to \moreargs, so this helps clarify things just a little.
