I've put up the doc update PR here:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/27166
I've also reviewed a few dozen SO questions about filecmp.cmp and shallow arg, many of them find the docs confusing or lacking, so I thought updating docs is definitely very useful.
I haven't seen any of them asking for "force shallow" behavior, but there's many of them and I haven't read all; searching for "force shallow" doesn't find any.
I think it might be useful to also add a new 'force shallow' arg, but I hope more people ask for it or compile a list of SO questions asking for it, otherwise it might not be worth additional complexity. |
