Pylagiarist

===========

Pylagiarist is a plagiate detection script written in Python.

It recursively scans folders for files whose names match a certain

pattern, compares each pair of files, and reports those whose

similarity is beyond a given threshold.

Pylagiarist uses difflib's SequenceMatcher to compute similarities. If

[python-Levenshtein](https://github.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein/) is

installed, it also reports Levenshtein ratios for similar files.

Usage

-----

Just run

	pylagiarist.py

in the folder containing the files you want to compare. Pylagiarist

can take some switches, type

    pylagiarist.py -h

to learn about them.

Examples

--------

Scan folders `src1` and `src2` for files with names ending in `.html`

or `.htm`, but not matching `index`

	pylagiarist -i '.html$' -i '.htm$' -x index src1 src2

Report similarities above 0.4 (computed by difflib)

	pylagiarist -t 0.4

Print progress on stderr

	pylagiarist -v
