Full Discussion: How to print 1 file then when finished another file prints beside it?

If you want to print files side by side, you have to print them at the same time.
Like you python script in your post#1 does.

In the shell the "read" command automatically chops the leading end trailing space.
Code:
while read L1 <&3 && read L2 <&4; do
  echo "$L1$L2"
done 3< file1 4< file2

You see that it reads a line from file1 into variable L1 and simultaneously a line from file2 into variable L2. (Using two descriptors/streams that are opened when the loop starts.)
The echo command prints L1 and L2 side by side.
