compare http pages Python

Question

I have gotten 2 http pages and I want to compare between them at Python. The problem is I got the files in different ways: In the first page the content is divided to blocks and in the second the content is in one block.

is there an elegant way to compare between them?

Hi this solution read two files, after exclude blank lines, and finally prints common lines regardless of their position in the file

with open('your_file_1', 'r') as file_1:
    with open('your_file_2', 'r') as file_2:
        same = set(file_1).intersection(file_2)

same.discard('\n') # exclude blank lines

with open('output_file.txt', 'w') as file_out:
    for line in same:
        file_out.write(line)

I didn't mention that, but before every block there is number meaning the size of the block. Additionally, I don't understant it very much but דs it possible that the one block isn't appending of the blocks in the second page?
