Find duplicate files in multiple directories

[noisefloor]

Hello,

possible blueprint:

Make files a Dictionary, create for each file a key with a list as the value and and the file's corresponding path to the list.
Once the dict is complete, you can iterate over the dict looking for values with a length > 1.

To iterate over a directory, you may want to use the newer / nicer pathlib module. To iterate over files in a directory non-recursively:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = Path('/path/to/dir')
>>> for child in p.iterdir():
...     print(child)

To iterate recursively:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = Path('path/ot/dir')
>>> for file in p.glob('*.*'):
...    print(file)
