folderhash |python_versions| |license| |library|
================================================
Compare folder contents via hash.
File I/O and hashing are done in threads using the `Curio <https://curio.readthedocs.io>`_ library to make the comparison as speedy as possible!

I use :code:`folderhash` for extra assurance that large or important file copies have been performed accurately.

Installation
------------
Installation from PyPI should be easy:

.. code-block:: sh

    $ pip install folderhash

:code:`folderhash` supports only Python 3.6 or later.

Demo
----

.. code-block:: console

    $ mkdir -p /tmp/demo/a /tmp/demo/b  # just some setup
    $ cd /tmp/demo
    $ touch a/a a/b a/c b/a b/b b/d
    $ echo "DIFFERENT CONTENT" >> a/b

    $ folderhash a b  # the simplest case--compare two folders

Changelog
---------

Changes as of 8 August 2017

1.0.1 <8 August 2017>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Some readme fixes
- Change the PyPI development status classifier from Beta to Production/Stable
- Show paths relative to the input argument instead of absolute paths when producing output. I think it's easier to understand this way.
- Add some error checking for input of empty hash files

1.0.0 <7 August 2017>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Initial stable release to PyPI!
