Re: Middle matching - any Python library functions (besides re)?

If you want to avoid an O(n^2) algorithm, you may need to find a signature for each file. Then you use such signatures to compute hashes, and unique them with a dict (dict values may be the file names). Later you can weed out the few wrong collisions produced by the possibly approximated signature.
