yes i agree breaking stuff into smaller chunks is a good way to do it.
even were i to do something like
def safe_copy()
f1=file(files ,'rb')
f2 = file(os.path.join(currentdir,fname,files))
truth = md5.new(f1.read()).digest() ==
md5.new(f2.read()).digest()

i implemented it fine with the single file copy part. something like :
for files in sourcepath:
f1=file(files ,'rb')

You're not really supposed to call into the md5 module directly anymore; you
might use hashlib instead.
But actually, using a cryptographic hash doesn't really help comparing just
one pair of files; it's more certain to do a block by block comparison, and
the I/O time is roughly the same -
