Hi, thank you very much for implementing this library.

I would like to have more information about its use for the following scenario: given two code snippets, I would like to know the location of the lines and tokens that have been changed or added.
Let's take this case as an example:

As you can see, the difference between the two code snippets lies in line 1 (renaming the variable 'var' to 'var1'), line 2 (adding a new addition), and finally, line 4 (adding a new statement).

The output of this execution is as follows:

From this output, however, I cannot get the information I mentioned above. Does the library support this functionality or is there a way to get this information?

Thanks again for the support.

Hi authors, your library is very useful. I face some errors when executing the example code. Could you please suggest me how to solve this issue?

I have a use case where I need the information of the target nodes in the EditScript. However, only the target node text is passed to the Update objects. For example the code at code_diff/__init__.py:L200 is

if source_ast.type == target_ast.type and len(source_ast.children) == 0 and len(target_ast.children) == 0:
  # Both nodes are tokens of the same type 
  # Only an update is required
  return EditScript([Update(source_ast, target_ast.text)])

I suggest that the last line to be replaced with:

return EditScript([Update(source_ast, target_ast)])

I'm just following the readme file and I'm encountering this error when after the output = .... , statement.
