    On my machine it’s in:

    /usr/share/doc/python2.7/examples/Tools/scripts/diff.py
    

    However, it’ll vary a little depending on your distrib and how up to date you are. But there’s a really handy little tool called ‘locate’ that you can use to quickly find stuff on your machine.

    locate diff.py | grep Tools
    

    Gives me

    /usr/share/doc/python2.7/examples/Tools/scripts/diff.py
    /usr/share/doc/python2.7/examples/Tools/scripts/ndiff.py
    /usr/share/doc/python3.1/examples/Tools/scripts/diff.py
    /usr/share/doc/python3.1/examples/Tools/scripts/ndiff.py
    

    As I have two versions of Python installed. I put it through grep, as sometimes locate can match quite a lot.

    If you’re sure that you have a file on your machine, but locate isn’t finding it, you might need to update your database, which is done with the ‘updatedb’ command, as root. So, just run

    sudo updatedb
    

    and get a coffee (or two if you have a slow machine/very full drive) and then try again.
