+ """
+ SequenceMatcher is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of
+ any type, so long as the sequence elements are hashable. The basic
+ algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm
+ published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the
+ hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching". The basic idea is to find
+ the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
+ elements (R-O doesn't address junk). The same idea is then applied
+ recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right
+ of the matching subsequence. This does not yield minimal edit
+ sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
+
+ SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two
+ sequences. Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the
+ longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence. That's what
+ catches peoples' eyes. The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting
+ notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.
+ That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference
+ reports than does diff. This method appears to be the least vulnerable
+ to synching up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in
+ ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files). That may be
+ because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of
+ "junk" <wink>.
+
+ Example, comparing two strings, and considering blanks to be "junk":
+
+ >>> s = SequenceMatcher(lambda x: x == " ",
+ ... "private Thread currentThread;",
+ ... "private volatile Thread currentThread;")
+ >>>
+
+ .ratio() returns a float in [0, 1], measuring the "similarity" of the
+ sequences. As a rule of thumb, a .ratio() value over 0.6 means the
+ sequences are close matches:
+
+ >>> print(round(s.ratio(), 3))
+ 0.866
+ >>>
+
+ If you're only interested in where the sequences match,
+ .get_matching_blocks() is handy:
+
+ >>> for block in s.get_matching_blocks():
+ ... print("a[%d] and b[%d] match for %d elements" % block)
+ a[0] and b[0] match for 8 elements
+ a[8] and b[17] match for 21 elements
+ a[29] and b[38] match for 0 elements
+
+ Note that the last tuple returned by .get_matching_blocks() is always a
+ dummy, (len(a), len(b), 0), and this is the only case in which the last
+ tuple element (number of elements matched) is 0.
+
+ If you want to know how to change the first sequence into the second,
+ use .get_opcodes():
+
+ >>> for opcode in s.get_opcodes():
+ ... print("%6s a[%d:%d] b[%d:%d]" % opcode)
+ equal a[0:8] b[0:8]
+ insert a[8:8] b[8:17]
+ equal a[8:29] b[17:38]
+
+ See the Differ class for a fancy human-friendly file differencer, which
+ uses SequenceMatcher both to compare sequences of lines, and to compare
+ sequences of characters within similar (near-matching) lines.
+
+ See also function get_close_matches() in this module, which shows how
+ simple code building on SequenceMatcher can be used to do useful work.
+
+ Timing: Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected
+ case. SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has
+ expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many
+ elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.
+
+ Methods:
+
+ __init__(isjunk=None, a='', b='')
+ Construct a SequenceMatcher.
+
+ set_seqs(a, b)
+ Set the two sequences to be compared.
+
+ set_seq1(a)
+ Set the first sequence to be compared.
+
+ set_seq2(b)
+ Set the second sequence to be compared.
+
+ find_longest_match(alo, ahi, blo, bhi)
+ Find longest matching block in a[alo:ahi] and b[blo:bhi].
+
+ get_matching_blocks()
+ Return list of triples describing matching subsequences.
+
+ get_opcodes()
+ Return list of 5-tuples describing how to turn a into b.
+
+ ratio()
+ Return a measure of the sequences' similarity (float in [0,1]).
+
+ quick_ratio()
+ Return an upper bound on .ratio() relatively quickly.
+
+ real_quick_ratio()
+ Return an upper bound on ratio() very quickly.
