More recent package/library for difflib? - twinpiques - Jul-11-2019
Hello. I was going to install the difflib package, so I went to get more information about it from PyPi.org. However, it no longer exists, apparently. Is there a more updated or recent package similar to difflib that you have used and would recommend?
For background...I am trying to compare two blocks of text (very large narratives) for common text strings/sentences. I am using the "set/intersection" method, but was looking for another approach as well and difflib was recommended.
Thanks.
