Installing unidiff
------------------

::

    $ pip install unidiff


Quick start
-----------

::

    >>> import urllib2
    >>> from unidiff import PatchSet
    >>> diff = urllib2.urlopen('https://github.com/matiasb/python-unidiff/pull/3.diff')
    >>> encoding = diff.headers.getparam('charset')
    >>> patch = PatchSet(diff, encoding=encoding)
    >>> patch
    <PatchSet: [<PatchedFile: .gitignore>, <PatchedFile: unidiff/patch.py>, <PatchedFile: unidiff/utils.py>]>
    >>> patch[0]
    <PatchedFile: .gitignore>
    >>> patch[0].is_added_file
    True
    >>> patch[0].added
    6
    >>> patch[1]
    <PatchedFile: unidiff/patch.py>
    >>> patch[1].added, patch[1].removed
    (20, 11)
    >>> len(patch[1])
    6
    >>> patch[1][2]

Load unified diff data by instantiating PatchSet with a file-like object as
argument, or using PatchSet.from_filename class method to read diff from file.

A PatchSet is a list of files updated by the given patch. For each PatchedFile
you can get stats (if it is a new, removed or modified file; the source/target
lines; etc), besides having access to each hunk (also like a list) and its
respective info.

At any point you can get the string representation of the current object, and
that will return the unified diff data of it.

As a quick example of what can be done, check bin/unidiff file.

Also, once installed, unidiff provides a command-line program that displays
information from diff data (a file, or stdin). For example:

::

    $ git diff | unidiff
    Summary
    -------
    README.md: +6 additions, -0 deletions

    1 modified file(s), 0 added file(s), 0 removed file(s)
    Total: 6 addition(s), 0 deletion(s)


Load a local diff file
----------------------

To instantiate PatchSet from a local file, you can use:

::

    >>> from unidiff import PatchSet
    >>> patch = PatchSet.from_filename('tests/samples/bzr.diff', encoding='utf-8')
    >>> patch
    <PatchSet: [<PatchedFile: added_file>, <PatchedFile: modified_file>, <PatchedFile: removed_file>]>

Notice the (optional) encoding parameter. If not specified, unicode input will be expected. Or alternatively:

::

    >>> import codecs
    >>> from unidiff import PatchSet
    >>> with codecs.open('tests/samples/bzr.diff', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as diff:
    ...     patch = PatchSet(diff)
    ...
    >>> patch
    <PatchSet: [<PatchedFile: added_file>, <PatchedFile: modified_file>, <PatchedFile: removed_file>]>

Finally, you can also instantiate PatchSet passing any iterable (and encoding, if needed):

::

    >>> from unidiff import PatchSet
    >>> with open('tests/samples/bzr.diff', 'r') as diff:
    ...     data = diff.readlines()
    ...
    >>> patch = PatchSet(data, encoding='utf-8')
    >>> patch
    <PatchSet: [<PatchedFile: added_file>, <PatchedFile: modified_file>, <PatchedFile: removed_file>]>
