This comm(1) approach doesn't work for me. It somehow fails to detect common entries when the offset is too big.

I'll repeat:
As I mentioned before, if you store keys in sorted text files ...
Those files aren't in sorted order, so of course `comm` can't do anything useful with them. Do `man sort`; sorting is not optional here.
I did read the manpage, but somehow it seems I did not execute sort(1) from within my python code, so it was unsorted and did did not realize it yet. Thanks! m. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
