How to compare two directories?

[could ildg]

I want to compare 2 directories,
and find If all of theire sub-folders and files and sub-files are identical..
If not the same, I want know which files or folders are not the same.
I know filecmp moudle has cmpfiles function and a class named dircmp,
they may help, but I wonder if there is a ready-to-use function in python libs?
If not, would somebody like to give me some propositions?

Thank you.

That's a good start. Why doesn't dircmp work for you?

I found dircmp compare only the direct dirs and files,
and it will not do anything to the sub-directories.

The documentation for dircmp.report_full_closure() disagrees with you.
