*three* columns? You menction only two of them.
say for example if need to compare a1 with a2 and if there are common i
have
display a1, b1, b2
or else i have to display a1 , b1 or a1, b2
Do you have to syncrhonize both listings? That is, search for matches that
are not in the same line? Or just compare line by line?
In the first case, the difflib module may help:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-difflib.html
In the second case, just iterate over both files, compare lines and
display one thing or another.
is the set function going to be the best option or is there any other way
Probably the set type won't be useful - a concrete example of what you
want would help to provide better ideas.
