New submission from Kevin Smith <kevin.sm...@sixquickrun.com>:
While filecmp.cmp and filecmp.cmpfiles allow a shallow option to be specified
to invoke a more involved comparison of files, filecmp.dircmp does not. It is
limited to shallow-only comparisons.
This could be solved quite easily by adding a shallow keyword option to dircmp
then changing the phase3 method to the following.
def phase3(self): # Find out differences between common files
xx = cmpfiles(self.left, self.right, self.common_files, self.shallow)
self.same_files, self.diff_files, self.funny_files = xx
