Hi,

just to avoid doing it once more:

Has someone already ported Python's difflib to D, especially the
SequenceMatcher class. The comments state that:
"The basic algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an
algorithm published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under
the hyperbolic name 'gestalt pattern matching'."

Or, maybe, is there already another D class around which can compare two files or byte arrays (or, better, arbitrary arrays) and create a list of commands (delete, insert, modify) to transform one array into the other?

Not that I know of. I think it'd be cool to get it for D.
