This is a non-question. The input is the same, the output is the same,
what else matters?
On the other hand, if you want to dig deeper, there are lots of differences:
1) the former has a shorter source file
2) different C code is utilized inside the interpreter
3) different machine code executes
4) the temporary objects created have different id's and types
5) different execution times (by a trivial amount)
6) it takes different keystrokes to edit the two source files once you
want to make it do something useful
7) the processor works a little harder on one than the other, possibly
resulting in a different power consumption
8) different byte code is produced
Or you could be asking about Python version 3, in which case
1) the syntax error message points to a different character
