I just want to compare two files,one from windows and the other from unix. But I do not want to compare them through reading them line by line. Then I found there is a filecmp module which is used as file and directory comparisons. However,when I use two same files (one from unix,one from windows,the content of them is the same) to test its cmp function, filecmp.cmp told me false.
Later, I found that windows use '\n\r' as new line flag but unix use '\n', so filecmp.cmp think that they are different,then return false. So, can anyone tell me that is there any method like IgnoreNewline which can ignore the difference of new line flag in diffrent platforms? If not,I think filecmp may be not a good file comparison module. Thanks, higer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
