Hi All,

I'm looking for a python library that can parse XML Documents and
create xml-aware "diff" files, and then use those to patch documents.
In other words, I'd like something similar to the Google
diff-match-patch tools, but something which is XML aware.

I can see several projects on Pypi that can generate some form of xml
diff, but I can't seem to see anything that can also do the patching
side of things.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Best wishes,

Nicholas
