A method to give a rudimentary 'diff' of 2 sequences.

import collections

# Holds a single set of continuous differences between two sequences.
# The offset gives the offset in the original sequences where the
# differences begin. The a and b will hold the respective differing
# elements.

"""
A data buffer read/write utility. Intended for handling network binary
packet data. Works by using basic python strings which include binary
bytes. The string can be tossed directly into a socket send() or
sendto(). Similarly, can be used to parse out data types out of a binary
string.
Note this isn't restricted to network data; it can be used to read/write
any binary data string.

Another simple token parser. Generator yielding tokens out of a
multi-line string.

Tokens are white-space, quote, or comment dilimited. Quoted tokens
with escaped characters are supported.

Example:
    ' token1 token2 "quoted token" # comment until end of line '
    ' token1 "quoted with \"escape\" sequences" '

Struct Unpacker:  use a simply formatted string to tell how to unpack
binary data into a dict.

Example:  "x <i, y <i, name 8s"
          {
            "x":    a signed 32-bit int,
            "y":    a signed 32-bit int,
            name":  a string of 8 characters
          }
