Signature
class _BaseDiff ( a , b ) Members
Summary
Base class for all FITS diff objects.
Extended Summary
When instantiating a FITS diff object, the first two arguments are always the two objects to diff (two FITS files, two FITS headers, etc.). Instantiating a _BaseDiff also causes the diff itself to be executed. The returned _BaseDiff instance has a number of attribute that describe the results of the diff operation.
The most basic attribute, present on all _BaseDiff instances, is .identical which is True if the two objects being compared are identical according to the diff method for objects of that type.
