""" Command line interface to difflib.py providing diffs in four formats:
3
* ndiff: lists every line and highlights interline changes.
4
* context: highlights clusters of changes in a before/after format.
5
* unified: highlights clusters of changes in an inline format.
6
* html: generates side by side comparison with change highlights.
