The cmp Module
(Obsolete, Only in 1.5.2) The cmp module contains a function to compare two files, as Example 14-19 demonstrates.
Example 14-19. Using the cmp Module
File: cmp-example-1.py
import cmp
if cmp.cmp("samples/sample.au", "samples/sample.wav"):
print "files are identical"
else:
print "files differ!"
files differ!
In Python 2.0 and later, this module has been replaced by the filecmp module.
