If the differences are only whitespace, xxdiff has an option to keep those gray in the GUI. tangerine:~/p/xxdiff/src$ xxdiff --list-resource | grep Hunk Accel.ToggleIgnorePerHunkWhitespace: "" IgnorePerHunkWhitespace: False tangerine:~/p/xxdiff/src$ Otherwise you can write a 40 lines Python script to parse GNU diff output and filter out those changes from the diff hunks. _______________________________________________ Doc-SIG maillist - Doc-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/doc-sig
