I'd probably use a dict with a list as the value:

this is untested, and it's been a while since I've messed with the CSV
module, but something like this should work, if you split the first file
into 3 lists and the 2nd into two lists:
for col1, col2, col3 in zip(inCol1, inCol2, inCol3):
try:
mydict[(col1, col2)]
mydict[(col1, col2)].append(col3)
except KeyError:
mydict[(col1, col2)] = [col3]
I think that should work.
