In module filecmp, the normal functions cmp and cmpfiles do have a shallow attribute. But the dircmp class doesn't provide one, could we add it in the constructor ?
In the implementation, it would only change the call to cmpfiles in def phase3 ? It could be useful for performance (same reason, the "shallow" parameter exists in the other two functions), when quickly comparing two directories. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
