I see someone suggested imgseek. This uses a Haar transform to compare
images (check on it). I did make a module based on imgseek, and together
with PIL, I manage my archive of email attachments (it's incredible how many
different versions of the same picture people send you: gif, jpg in
different sizes etc) and it works fairly well.

E-mail me if you want the module, I don't think I have it currently online
anywhere.
