This is the sum of the values of the red pixels, etc. They are not 
counts, but sums. So if you have an image with the two pixels
(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6) you would get a sum of (5, 7, 9).

So you want a count of the number of pixels that differ between the two 
images? Maybe this:

diff = ImageChops.difference(file1, file2)

# Convert to grayscale so differences are counted just once per pixel
diff = ImageOps.grayscale(diff)

# Convert each difference to 0 or 1 so we can count them
# Clipping function
def clip(x):
   return 1 if x >= 1 else 0

# Apply the clipping function
diff = Image.eval(diff, clip)

print ImageStat.Stat(diff).sum
