Find duplicate files in multiple directories

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.
Regards, noisefloor

Hello,
I tried this ... but 'location' values aren't added but updated.
list1 = [dir1, dir2, dir3, dir4, dir5]

files = {}
for folder in list1:
    files.update({f:folder for f in os.listdir(folder)})
The comprehension expression has to be modified in some way.
