Python method to calculate whether a file is the same based on checksum

This article describes the method of Python using checksum to calculate whether files are the same. Share it for your reference. The details are as follows:

Suppose there are 2 binary files (, ), use checksum to check whether the content is the same

# coding: utf8
# Python2.6.2
import md5
with open('', 'rb') as f:
  s = (()).hexdigest()
with open('', 'rb') as f:
  ss = (()).hexdigest()
print repr(s), len(s)
print repr(ss), len(ss)

I hope this article will be helpful to everyone's Python programming.
