+Patch NG (New Generation)
+
+Library to parse and apply unified diffs.
+This project is a fork from the original python-patch project.
+
+Features
+
+Automatic correction of Linefeeds according to patched file
+Diffs broken by stripping trailing whitespace
+a/ and b/ prefixes
+Single file, which is a command line tool and a library
+No dependencies outside Python stdlib
+Patch format detection (SVN, HG, GIT)
+Nice diffstat histogram
+Linux / Windows / OS X
+Test coverage
+
+Things that don't work out of the box:
+
+File renaming, creation and removal
+Directory tree operations
+Version control specific properties
+Non-unified diff formats
+
+Usage
+
+Download patch_ng.py and run it with Python. It is a self-contained
+module without external dependencies.
