New submission from Hubert Bonnisseur-De-La-Bathe <hubertbdlb@gmail.com>: Reading first at the documentation of difflib, I thought that the use of junks would have produced the result s = SequenceMatcher(lambda x : x == " ", "abcd efgh", "abcdefgh") s.get_matching_blocks()
[Match(a=0, b=0, size=8)]
At a second lecture, it is clear that such evaluation will return in fact two matches of length 4. Would it be nicer to have get_matching_block return the length 8 match ? Don't know if it's in the spirit of the lib, I'm just asking. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 388491 nosy: docs@python, hubertbdlb priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Junks in difflib type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43473> _______________________________________
