Little script to handle fdupes output

Scope

FDUPES produce a file with all duplicate files in a directory, this file is formatted in a specific way Duplicate files are shown in groups (1 path for each file) separated by an empty line. Handling this file should be very annoing, so this script in Python 3, help you to divide files to keep and files to remove FDUPES has his proper method to delete files -d option, but I prefer divide in 2 step the work

1. find duplicates
2. get list of files to keep and delete
