whym added a comment.
Thanks for the clarification.
I am guessing that its function was to generate a list of potentially duplicated images between a local site and the repository (Commons) site based on the match of hash values derived from the image bytes. If that is correct, I think it is a useful tool to restore.
May I suggest changing this task's title into something like "Restore/recreate a tool to find duplicated images based on file hashes"?
And then nowcommons.py can have a message that redirects users here. Some of them might be interested in reviving it.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132303EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: whymCc: whym, gerritbot, Avicennasis, Aklapper, Steinsplitter, Multichill, Xqt, pywikibot-bugs-list, MayS, Lewizho99, Mdupont, JJMC89, Maathavan, jayvdb, Alchimista___
