Psydiff is a structural differencer for Python. It parses Python into ASTs,
compare them, and then generate interactive HTML.


### Demo

A demo of Psydiff's output (Psydiff diffing itself over a recent big change) can
be found here:

### Installation

1. Copy the whole directory to somewhere in your file system
2. Add the path to the system's "PATH variable"



### Usage

Just run psydiff.py from the command line:

    ./psydiff.py demos/list1.py demos/list2.py

This will generate a HTML file named list1-list2.html in the current directory.
You can then use your browser to open this file and browse around the code.

The HTML is a standalone entity (CSS styles and JavaScript embedded). You can
put it anywhere you like and still be able to view it.
