I am trying to make a output like where it prints the free and then the 
difference between the current free and previous free
For e.g

M <01/14/2019 08:07:01> Count:0  Free: 20
M <01/14/2019 08:07:04> Count:1  Free: 10  absolute difference between time and 
prev time is -10
M <01/14/2019 08:07:07> Count:2  Free: 3   absolute difference between time and 
prev time is -7


And then later on i need to determine the time when we had the most negative 
free value.


I tried a code like this
Which printed
  with open("summ4.txt") as f:
# get first line/number
nxt = int(next(f))
for n in f:
     print("absolute difference between {} and {} = {}"
           .format(n.rstrip(), nxt, abs(int(nxt) - int(n))))
     # set nxt equal to the next number
     nxt = int(next(f,0))
    a=open('summ1.txt','r').readlines()
    b=open('summ3.txt','r').readlines()
     with open('summ.txt','w') as out:
       for i in range(0,365):
print>>out,a[i].rstrip(),b[i]


I hit error as
Traceback (most recent call last):
                                                                File "3.py", line 39, 
in <module>
                                                           .format(n.rstrip(), 
nxt, abs(int(nxt) - int(n))))
                                                                ValueError: 
zero length field name in format

I guess my input file has a tab in the start and not able to get a difference 
rightly.
.
Any pointers on how to achieve the desired result?

You didn't say Which version of Python you're using.

The "print>>" tells me that it's Python 2.

It's complaining about the '{}' in the format string.

Format strings were introduced in Python 2.6 and auto-numbering ('{}' allowed instead of '{0}') was introduced in Python 2.7.

As it's complaining about a missing field name in '{}', it must be Python 2.6, which is ancient!

And Python 2.7 reaches its end of life soon.

You should switch to Python 3 unless you have a very good reason for staying on Python 2, and, if you must use Python 2, use Python 2.7.
