I am trying to use difflib to produce diff for two text files containing tweets. Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# difflib_test
import difflib
file1 = open('/home/saad/Code/test/new_tweets', 'r')
file2 = open('/home/saad/PTITVProgs', 'r')
diff = difflib.context_diff(file1.readlines(), file2.readlines())
delta = ''.join(diff)
print delta
Here is the PTITVProgs

As you can see by quickly comparing the two source files (PTITVProgs and new_tweets) that the difference between them are the 3 tweets that were on April 7th and 3 tweets on April 3rd.
I just want the lines in new_tweets
that are not in PTITVProgs
to appear in the diff.
But it throws a bunch of text that I don't want to see. I don't know what *** 1,7***
and *** 1,3***
in the diff output stand for...? What is the proper way to get only the changed lines?
