Compare two images the python/linux way

by

There is a OSS project that uses WebDriver to take screen shots and then compares the images to see if there are any issues (http://code.google.com/p/fighting-layout-bugs/)). It does it by openning the file into a stream and then comparing every bit.

You may be able to do something similar with PIL.

EDIT:

After more research I found

h1 = Image.open("image1").histogram()
h2 = Image.open("image2").histogram()

rms = math.sqrt(reduce(operator.add,
    map(lambda a,b: (a-b)**2, h1, h2))/len(h1))
