Historically, the unix tool for comparing the differences between two
files is called 'diff'.  Python has similar functionality in a library
called 'difflib'.  See http://docs.python.org/3/library/difflib.html

The Wikipedia article may provide some useful search terms too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff

Does that help any?
