I am getting same file size and are regular files (True) as below.

Could you assist on filecmp any changes required in passing the inputs. Since it returns false.

Code: 

>>> os.chdir(r'C:\Users\suresh.n\Files')
>>> open('source.css', 'rb').read() == open('destination.css','rb').read()
True
>>> for f in ('source.css', 'destination.css'):
...         print(f, os.path.isfile(f), os.path.getsize(f))

source.css True 37465
destination.css True 37465
