Q: How do I transport ten sumo wrestlers on a unicycle? A: With extreme difficulty. You may well need a different vehicle. Think about your requirements, then implement the most appropriate data structure. If, as is likely, you need to know which and how many files are identical, then a set won't do the job by itself. You may need a union-find gadget. Then before you rush and implement something, google around and look in the Tools and Scripts directories in the Python distribution; I'm quite sure I've seen something like a "duplicate file detector" written in Python somewhere.
