The page at http://www.python.org/dev/tools/ mentions that context diffs are preferred. However, the link at http://www.python.org/dev/patches/ mentions that "We like unified diffs. We grudgingly accept contextual diffs.". So "tools" page should preferably mention unified diffs as well.

Thanks,
Raghu

I don't think we really do care.  Sometimes context diffs are easier to understand and sometimes unified diffs are the way to go depending on the patch.  I say, let the world do what the world will do.  No unnecessary rules.
