Different results in the demo and in Python

[milossramek]

Hi, I quite often get different results if I call diff-match-patch from python3 by dmp = dmp_module.diff_match_patch() diff = dmp.diff_main(in, out) in comparison to the results provided by the demo from this repository. Usually a large block of text (often the whole text except for a few words at the start and at the end) is marked as one replaced block, while the demo correctly shows many insert/delete/replacement blocks inside it.

Maybe that the javascript implementation used by the demo is different from the installed python version from pypy diff-match-patch==20200713

My strings are in utf-8 and quite often with 10k characters and more in a single line without line breaks. Maybe that this is the problem for the Python implementation.

Any idea, how to solve this problem? thanks in advance Milos

Hi, Milos I think found the solution for that.

According to library source, that contains 'Diff_Timeout'. I tried this.

---

diff_obj = diff_match_patch.diff_match_patch() diff_obj.Diff_Timeout = 5

and then, It looks like to solve the problem.

diff_obj.Diff_Timeout = 5

Thanks, this is a lifesaver!
