Thanks very much for figuring that out for me, and so clearly explaining it.

I downloaded that compressed file and found difflib_data.py (see it 
at <http://py77.python.pastebin.com/f5e2c73a5>). Copied the data into 
my demo_pymotw-difflib.py, deleted the line "from difflib_data import 
*", and ran it. See it and the output at 
<http://py77.python.pastebin.com/f116d471b>
