Hello,
I am currently doing the third option. Doing file.read() to both file
to be compared then feed the result to the compare function.
Let me give you a brief sample of what I want to achieve.
Using this code
>>> diffline=[]
>>> fileDiff = difflib.Differ().compare(f1, f2)
>>> diffline = list(fileDiff)
>>> finStr = ''.join(diffline)
With the following strings for comparison:
>>> f1 = ''' The solvable conditions and the Green's functions of linear
>>> boundary value
... problems for ordinary differential equations with sufficiently
smooth coefficients have been
... investigated in detail by other authors
\cite{CR1,CR2,CR3,CR4,CR5}.'''
>>> f2 = '''The solvability conditions and the Green's functions of linear
>>> boundary value problems for ordinary
... differential equations with sufficiently smooth coefficients have
been investigated in detail by many
... authors \cite{CR1,CR2,CR3,CR4,CR5}.'''
I get this result:
T h e s o l v a b+ i l- e+ i+ t+ y c o n d i t
i o n s a n d t h e G r e e n ' s f u
n c t i o n s o f l i n e a r b o u n d

Whereas, this is my expected result:
T h e s o l v a b+ i l- e+ i+ t+ y c o n d i t
i o n s a n d t h e G r e e n ' s f u
n c t i o n s o f l i n e a r b o u n d
