Encrypt file Line by Line in Python using RSA and Compare it to another File

Question

On my Linux Debian server, using python, I am trying to read a file of names line-by-line and encrypt it using the public RSA. Then I want to compare the encrypted line to another file that I have, which is also encrypted. If they are equal to each other I would like to print out the name in the decrypted and encrypted form. I have never used python before, so any help would be much appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/python

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
key = RSA.generate(2048)

names = open('names.txt')
cipher = open('ciphertext.txt',"r")

readname = names.readline()
readcipher = cipher.readlines()

while readname:
    enc_name = pubkey.encrypt(names,0)
    if enc_name == readcipher:
         print readname
         readname = names.readline()
names.close()
cipher.close()

I have no idea what your actual question is but maybe this will help?

 for name_plaintext,name_encoded in zip(names,cipher):
     if do_encode(name_plaintext) == name_encoded:
        print name_decoded,"==>",name_encoded
