Just open the files on both machines as you would any other file:
fp1=open(r'D:\filename1', 'r') fp2=open(r'E:\filename2', 'r') You could: 1) use md5 to calculate checksums on both files and compare or 2) you could use difflib instead see: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-difflib.html difflib probably works best if the files are text files. 3) do something custom to compare the files, but I would try 1) and 2) first.
