Thanks very much for all the answers to my question. I have taken the advice to
return a list of differing files, rather than raise an exception.
I do have a follow-up question:
I have a list of paths that contain files I want to check.
paths = [pathA, pathB]
then I check the files in each path and get a list of files that differ in some
way:
for path in paths
differing_files_list = compare_files(path)
I would like to store the differing_files_list with the associated path so
that, after doing all comparisons, I can print the all differing files, sorted
by path:
for path in paths
for file in differing_files_list
print(path + file)
How would I do that association? I guess I need a two-dimensional list but I
don't know how to build it.
Best regards
David
