The other thing you may want to consider, if the values are supposed
to be integers, is to convert them to Python integers before
comparing. Currently, you're working with strings. Replace this:
if sp[9] == sp[10]:
with this:
if int(sp[9]) == int(sp[10]):
I thought of this too and I wonder if there are any major differences
regarding performance compared to using the strip() method when parsing
large files.
In addition I guess one should catch the ValueError that might be raised
by the cast if there is something else than a number in the file.
