77 """A class that manages the comparison of 2 directories.
79 dircmp(a,b,ignore=None,hide=None)
80 A and B are directories.
81 IGNORE is a list of names to ignore,
82 defaults to ['RCS', 'CVS', 'tags'].
83 HIDE is a list of names to hide,
84 defaults to [os.curdir, os.pardir].
86 High level usage:
87 x = dircmp(dir1, dir2)
88 x.report() -> prints a report on the differences between dir1 and dir2
90 x.report_partial_closure() -> prints report on differences between dir1
91 and dir2, and reports on common immediate subdirectories.
92 x.report_full_closure() -> like report_partial_closure,
93 but fully recursive.
95 Attributes:
96 left_list, right_list: The files in dir1 and dir2,
97 filtered by hide and ignore.
98 common: a list of names in both dir1 and dir2.
99 left_only, right_only: names only in dir1, dir2.
100 common_dirs: subdirectories in both dir1 and dir2.
101 common_files: files in both dir1 and dir2.
102 common_funny: names in both dir1 and dir2 where the type differs between
103 dir1 and dir2, or the name is not stat-able.
104 same_files: list of identical files.
105 diff_files: list of filenames which differ.
106 funny_files: list of files which could not be compared.
107 subdirs: a dictionary of dircmp objects, keyed by names in common_dirs.
