(Badge for me :D)

Simple python library for side-by-side diff in terminal.

Use difflib as its engine.

Supports beautiful output with multi-width or zero-width character.

Install

pip install bigyo

It just works!

How to

Replace

difflib.Differ().compare(a, b)

to

bigyo.Bigyo().compare(a, b)

and you get your nice side-by-side comparison generator. (Note it is generator)

Also, to get full comparison string at once, there is

bigyo.Bigyo().comparison_string(a, b)

method for you to use.

Bigyo rendering strategy

Default bigyo rendering strategy is SimpleBigyoRenderer with default params, which will look like this.

- Hello, World |+  Helo, Wold!
?    -     -   |?            +

However, you can change separator (defaults to |) if you wish, by making BigyoRenderer class with parameter,

bigyo_rd = SimpleBigyoRenderer(sep="*")

...And give it as parameter of Bigyo.

bigyo_cls = bigyo.Bigyo(bigyo_renderer = bigyo_rd)

In this case, result will look like this.

- Hello, World *+  Helo, Wold!
?    -     -   *?            +

Also there exists OnelineBigyoRenderer which will render difference like this.

He>l<lo, Wo>r<ld|Helo, Wold<!>
