I understand that you are reluctant to change existing code. But for me as a sysadmin, the current behavior doesn't make sense for two reasons: * st.st_size is part of _sig. why would you do a deep compare if the two files have a different length ? * comparing thousands of files, a proper shallow-only compare is required, since it takes a long time to compare large files (especially when they are migrated to a tape-backend), so a silent-fallback to a deep-compare is not good. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41354> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
