This will work, but it's quick and dirty and has no error handling.

You have to run the script passing the two files as the only two arguments, in order.

Code:
 $ cat temp1.txt 
400,a_200/1200/3200/amzq4m5.wid
300,b_200/1200/3200/wxyq4m5.wid

 $ cat temp2.txt 
,Dec092007
,Nov092008

 $ cat powcmptr.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

file1 = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')
file2 = open(sys.argv[2], 'r')

for line1 in file1:

    
    line1 = line1.rstrip("\n")
    line2 = file2.readline().rstrip("\n")

    print line1 + line2



 $ ./powcmptr.py temp1.txt temp2.txt 
400,a_200/1200/3200/amzq4m5.wid,Dec092007
300,b_200/1200/3200/wxyq4m5.wid,Nov092008
