I am reading two files f1 and f2 into my Python code and I need to compare them and get the result as a boolean.
def open_file(file_path):
with open(input_file, "rb") as f:
file = f.read()
return file
I can however compare them using filecmp
but this way, I need to specify the file path and not the variable file
from the function
from itertools import zip_longest
def compare_binaries(path1, path2):
with open(path1, 'rb') as f1, open(path2, 'rb') as f2:
for line1, line2 in zip_longest(f1, f2, fillvalue=None):
if line1 == line2:
continue
else:
return False
return True
