from itertools import cycle
def serialize(*sources):
while True:
for source in sources:
yield source.next()
def stripper(iterator):
for thing in iterator:
yield thing.strip()
for thing in serialize(
stripper(file('file1.txt')),
stripper(file('file2.txt'))
):
print thing
As a previous responder noted, there are a number of ways to
treat the edge cases when the lengths of the files don't match.
Since you left the condition underqualified, I chose to let it
expire when the first one gave out rather than try and deal with
the complications of such ambiguity.
