Installing .patch file

Coding Python Support
1

I was looking for a few features that just weren’t in blender, but found some patches for blender that would achieve the same resolves. I found in the blender documentation how to install patches, but it only shows how with a .diff. All the patches I am finding are a .patch format. Also, I am not sure whether I put it in as a Git patch or an SVN patch.

So like I said. these patches are being presented as .Patch files and I am hoping someone is able to explain to me how I might install them.

EDIT:
Let me refine this a little bit… here is the exact patch that I am trying to implement - https://developer.blender.org/T33817. I am trying to install it in blender 2.71.

Let me refine this a little bit… here is the exact patch that I am trying to implement - https://developer.blender.org/T33817. I am trying to install it in blender 2.71. I kinda hate that I cant figure this out on my own. In any other instance, off the top of my head, Im sure I could figure it out, but for some reason this is really beating me down.

I hope that this link aids whoever is able to help me.

OK, So I gathered that this is uncompiled. Is it possible someone could just give me the patched files?
