from itertools import groupby

image_list = []
folder_list = []
folder_list.append(r'/storage/emulated/0/whatsapp/media/whatsapp images/')
folder_list.append(r'/storage/emulated/0/whatsapp/media/whatsapp images/Sent')

for folder in folder_list:
file_list = os.listdir(folder)
for img_file in file_list:
file_path = os.path.join(folder, img_file)
if os.path.isfile(file_path):
try:
sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
sha1.update(Image.open(file_path).tostring())
image_list.append([file_path, sha1.hexdigest()])
except IOError:
hjjj = "do nothing"

image_list.sort(key=itemgetter(1))
groups = groupby(image_list, itemgetter(1))
for (img_hash, img_list_same_hash) in groups:
z = [img for img in img_list_same_hash]
i = 1 #Not deleting first element(index 0)
while i < len(z):
os.remove(z[0])
print 'Deleted ' + z[0]
i += 1
