Print two outputs side-by-side, in Python

side_by_side allows users to print two multi-line outputs side-by-side. This produces an effect similar to running diff -y file1 file2 in a Unix system.

Usage

This library provides a single function, side_by_side.print_side_by_side. To print two_strings side-by-side with default settings:

from side_by_side import print_side_by_side

print_side_by_side(s1, s2)

Optional parameters

• print_line_numbers (bool): If True, prints line-numbers along the left column.
• col_padding (int): the number of spaces to leave between the two columns (and between the text and line number, if applicable)
• delimiter (str): a delimiter to separate the columns

Fancy usage

Here's an example of a print format that uses all of the parameters:

from side_by_side import print_side_by_side

print_side_by_side(lorem_ipsum, lorem_ipsum, print_line_numbers=True, col_padding=24, delimiter='|++++|')
