You say you aren't trying to go that route, but that is exactly what your "desired output" and your "re-looping" show in post #1 in this thread.
I don't know what "pipe hex the python script to the text file" means.
I don't know what "print the python script against the text file" means.
By definition a text file contains a sequence of zero or more lines of text. I don't know what "Using the text file as a place holder for lines." means.
Please explain clearly in English what you are trying to do and show us (small) sample input files and the exact output you hope to produce.
Note that if you want all of the combinations of millions of lines (10**9) from one file with millions of lines (10**9) from another file you are talking about quadrillions of combinations (10**9 * 10**9 = 10**18) (i.e., quadrillions of lines of output).
This is the pipe hex example
example.py | file1./another program will be here
Example of output
example.py | file1
generating | aaa
lines | bbb
↓ | ccc
printing against | ddd
the text file | eee
I am trying to compare two file and make changes where ever its different.

diff
DIFF(1) General Commands Manual DIFF(1)NAME
diff - differential file comparator
SYNOPSIS
diff [ -efbwr ] file1 ... file2
DESCRIPTION
Diff tells what lines must be changed in two files to bring them into agreement. If one file is a directory, then a file in that directory
with basename the same as that of the other file is used. If both files are directories, similarly named files in the two directories are
compared by the method of diff for text files and cmp(1) otherwise. If more than two file names are given, then each argument is compared
to the last argument as above. The -r option causes diff to process similarly named subdirectories recursively. The normal output con-
tains lines of these forms:
n1 a n3,n4
n1,n2 d n3
n1,n2 c n3,n4
These lines resemble ed commands to convert file1 into file2. The numbers after the letters pertain to file2. In fact, by exchanging `a'
for `d' and reading backward one may ascertain equally how to convert file2 into file1. As in ed, identical pairs where n1 = n2 or n3 = n4
are abbreviated as a single number.
Following each of these lines come all the lines that are affected in the first file flagged by `<', then all the lines that are affected
in the second file flagged by `>'.
The -b option causes trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) to be ignored and other strings of blanks to compare equal. The -w option causes
all white-space to be removed from input lines before applying the difference algorithm.
The -e option produces a script of a, c and d commands for the editor ed, which will recreate file2 from file1. The -f option produces a
similar script, not useful with ed, in the opposite order. It may, however, be useful as input to a stream-oriented post-processor.
Except in rare circumstances, diff finds a smallest sufficient set of file differences.
FILES
/tmp/diff[12]
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/diff
SEE ALSO cmp(1), ed(1)DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is the empty string for no differences, for some, and for trouble.
BUGS
Editing scripts produced under the -e or -f option are naive about creating lines consisting of a single `.'.
When running diff on directories, the notion of what is a text file is open to debate.
