Morning all,
   I took the pseudocode that Emile provided and tried to write a python
program. I may have taken the pseudocode to literally.

So what I wrote was this:
xml = open("final.txt",'r')
gen = open("final_gen.txt",'r')

PIDS = {}
for proteinVals in gen:
     ID = proteinVals.split()[0]
     PIDS[ID] = proteinVals

print PIDS

for line in xml:
     ID = proteinVals.split()[1]
     rslt = "%s,%s"% (line,PIDS[ID])
     print rslt


Without reading much further, what happens when you use the loop 
variable here instead of the prio loop variable?

Change the second line to

ID = line.split()[1]

and see what you get.

Emile
