Use a linejunk filter function to the Differ constructor -as shown in my post last Wednesday- to ignore "\n" characters when matching. That is: def ignore_eol(c): return c in "\r\n" fileDiff = difflib.Differ(linejunk=ignore_eol).compare(f1, f2) print ''.join(fileDiff) you get: - 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 a r y v a l u e- + p r o b l e m s f o r o r d i n a r y- + d i f f e r e n t i a l e q u a t i o n s w i t h s u f f i c i e n t l y s m o o t h c o e f f i c i e n t s h a v e b e e n- + i n v e s t i g a t e d i n d e t a i l b y + m+ a+ n+ y+ - o- t- h- e- r- a u t h o r s \ c i t e { C R 1 , C R 2 , C R 3 , C R 4 , C R 5 } . -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
