Python, compare two sentence by words using difflib

Question

Im using difflib and tried to compare the two sentence and get the difference.

Somewhat like this.

i have this code but instead of word by word it analyzed letter by letter.

import difflib

# define original text
# taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services
original = ["IIS 8.5 has several improvements related"]

# define modified text
edited = ["It has several improvements related"]

# initiate the Differ object
d = difflib.Differ()

# calculate the difference between the two texts
diff = d.compare(original, edited)

# output the result
print ('\n'.join(diff))

Answer 1

If you remove the []'s from your strings, and call .split() on them in the .compare() perhaps you'll get what you want.

import difflib

# define original text
# taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services
original = "IIS 8.5 has several improvements related"

# define modified text
edited = "It has several improvements related"

# initiate the Differ object
d = difflib.Differ()

# calculate the difference between the two texts
diff = d.compare(original.split(), edited.split())

# output the result
print ('\n'.join(diff))

Output

+ It
- IIS
- 8.5
  has
  several
  improvements
  related
