DirectoryHash is a library for Python. It gives an opportunity to get a hash of the destination folder. You can choose file types, which will participate in the calculations.
Install using pip:
pip install directoryhash
...or clone the project from github:
https://github.com/san4ezy/directoryhash.git
Getting hash for whole directory:
from directoryhash import md5, sha1
md5_hash = md5("path_to_directory")
sha1_hash = sha1("path_to_directory")
Getting hash for directory including html and css only:
from directoryhash import md5, sha1
filetypes = ('.html', '.css',)
md5_hash = md5("path_to_directory", filetypes)
sha1_hash = sha1("path_to_directory", filetypes)
Catching exceptions:
from directoryhash import md5, HashedDirectoryDoesNotExist
directory_path = "path_to_destination_folder"
try:
md5(directory_path)
except HashedDirectoryDoesNotExist as e:
print(e)
