It's probably OK, but there's no "pure win" to be had here. There's generally more than one way to convert one string to another, and what "looks right" to humans depends a whole lot on context. For example, consider these strings: "private Thread currentThread;" "private volatile Thread currentThread;" "It's obvious" someone inserted "volatile" into the first string, and that's what ndiff's default says: - private Thread currentThread; + private volatile Thread currentThread; ? +++++++++ However, pass `charjunk=None` instead, and ndiff claims someone inserted "e volatil" after the "t" in "private": - private Thread currentThread; + private volatile Thread currentThread; ? +++++++++ Which is also a correct way, but - to human eyes - an insane way ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35955> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
