当想创建一个HTML来表示文件之间差异时，就可以使用HtmlDiff对象。特别对于Web服务器的应用就更加方便了，直接把数据返回即可。
例子：
#python3.4.3
import difflib
text1 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
2. Explicit is better than implicit.
3. Simple is better than complex.
4. Complex is better than complicated.
'''.splitlines(keepends=True)
text2 = ''' 1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
3. Simple is better than complex.
4. Complicated is better than complex.
5. Flat is better than nested.
'''.splitlines(keepends=True)
diff = difflib.HtmlDiff().make_file(text1, text2)
print(diff)
结果输出如下：
