Thanks for the reply Peter,
I was using python functions I came across the net..not cpython
implementations..Probably my low config machine is also to blame..(I
am no expert at judging algorithm performance either),but is there a
way I can use difflib module to do this job?Even though I went through
the docs I couldn't make out how..
