Has anybody used cx_bsdiff?

[News Reader]

Hello,

I am trying to use cx_bsdiff
(http://starship.python.net/crew/atui...iff/index.html) to to
make a diff and patch some files. It appears that I can make the diff,
but when I apply the patch, the result is not the same.

As far as I understand the documentation, I am using this correctly.
Can anyone help me find what is wrong in the code below?

Thanks. Please reply to the list.

NR.
