Has anybody used cx_bsdiff?

[News Reader]

Hello,

I am trying to use cx_bsdiff 
(http://starship.python.net/crew/atuining/cx_bsdiff/index.html) to to 
make a diff and patch some files.  It appears that I can make the diff, 
but when I apply the patch, the result is not the same.

As far as I understand the documentation, I am using this correctly. 
Can anyone help me find what is wrong in the code below?

Thanks.  Please reply to the list.

NR.
