This will consist of a copy of all folders and files with only names and extensions retained, not size. This allows browsing of a remote drive or network location when offline.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Find duplicate code in Python 2/3 source files. Write a nice report about it.</p> <p>Works at the Abstract Syntax Tree level, which is a robust way to detect clones. See this <a href="http://francois.boutines.free.fr/python-3.2-report.html">code duplicated in the Python 3.2 standard library</a>.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: I cleaned the code a little bit, made it Python 2.7 compatible and faster.</p>
