patching files with python

Project description

ci build status

Patchit is an MIT Licensed unified diff parsing and merge tool written in Python for anyone who needs a finer grain of control over unified diff content and to merge the diff with an arbitrary stream of lines.

Motivation

The motivation for this package arose from the

  • overwhelming complexity of other patching tools written in Python,

  • their absence from the PyPI,

  • their inability to inspect the unified diff content and

  • missing support to merge the patch with an arbitrary stream of lines.

Installation

To install patchit just run from the root of the project:

$ python setup.py install

Testing

Tests are located at the tests.py file. In order to test your new contribution to patchit just run from your shell

$ python setup.py test

Contribute

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it much better myself. Therefore I’m asking anyone who is interested in a patch functionality for Python to improve this package and hand in patches by mail or pull requests.

The preferred method of development is a test driven approach and following the nvie git flow branching model. Please be so kind to bear these things in mind when handing in improvements. Thank you very much.
