Myers diff of two lists or files
Inspired by https://gist.github.com/adamnew123456/37923cf53f51d6b9af32a539cdfa7cc4
API
myers.diff(a, b, context=None, format=None)
(`myers.py, 25-60 <https://github.com/rec/myers/blob/master/myers.py#L25-L60>`_)
Return the Myers diff of two lists.
The result is a list of (action, line) pairs,
where ``action`` is one of ``KEEP``, ``INSERT``, ``REMOVE``, or ``OMIT``
(which happen to be the characters k, i, r, and o).
ARGUMENTS:
``a``, ``b``:
The two files to compare
``context``:
How many lines of context to keep between blocks of changes?
``None``, the default, means keep all unchanged lines.
``0`` means throw away all the unchanged lines.
``format``:
If a dictionary, it is used to format
each diff entry. If true, the default dictionary above is
used to format the diff entries. Otherwise they are returned as-is.
