I tried to compare two directories, each with hundreds of files in
multiple level subdirectories, to find out the different files. I used
filecmp module to the job as:
comp=filecmp.dircmp(adir, bdir)
comp.report()
It worked, and printed out the identical and different files. However,
it did not go through the directory trees, just did the job in the
first level. I wonder somebody can help? Thanks in advance!
report() only prints information on the first-level contents of the two
directores, as you saw. It doesn't do subdirectories.
If you want subdirectories, use report_full_closure().
