difflib appears to be very well laid out and utilizes well-known algorithms.
The only difficulty is that it only works when everything is in memory. Is there any ongoing effort to allow it to work on larger files? Would it be better to integrate larger dataset sizes into difflib or to create something new such as bigdifflib?

Not that I know of; you can try searching bugs.python.org, though, to verify.

This would be overkill for a new module. Patches are welcome if you would like to propose a solution for the pre-existing difflib module.

If you would like your patch to be considered for inclusion with Python you will need to open an issue at bugs.python.org and attach the patch to the issue.
