Paths within checksum should be evaluated relative to the checksum file directory, not the current working directory #10
Description
Changing directories before I verify is not a big deal when using a shell and verifying manually. But if I'm reaching for Python, chances are I'm either verifying a large number of multiple packages, or I'm writing a script to automate.
Either way, it seems like something a library should be handling for me.
Currently, this is required (I'm sure others could do it with less mess):
checksum_path = './relpath/package.md5'
orig = os.currdir
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(checksum_path))
filehash.verify_checksums(os.path.basename(checksum_path))
os.chdir(orig)If checksums were always evaluated from the directory they're in, I could do this:
checksum_path = './relpath/package.md5'
filehash.verify_checksums(checksum_path)
