Python - difference between two strings

Question

I\'d like to store a lot of words in a list. Many of these words are very similar. For example I have word afrykanerskojęzyczny and many of words like afr

Answer 1

I like the ndiff answer, but if you want to spit it all into a list of only the changes, you could do something like:

import difflib

case_a = 'afrykbnerskojęzyczny'
case_b = 'afrykanerskojęzycznym'

output_list = [li for li in difflib.ndiff(case_a, case_b) if li[0] != ' ']
