a future project: hardlink identical files
#1
a project i am looking at doing in Python in the near future is a command script the recurses through a set of file trees it is pointed to, looks for identical files (optionally under select constraints such as the matched files must have exactly the same time), and hardlinks them together to minimize used space.  i've already done this in C so i think it should not be hard in Python.
Tradition is peer pressure from dead people

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
