comparing values in two sets

I'd like to compare the values in two different sets to test if any of 
the positions in either set share the same value (e.g., if the third 
element of each set is an 'a', then the test fails).

I have this:

def test_sets(original_set, trans_letters):
     for pair in zip(original_set, trans_letters):
         if pair[0] == pair[1]:
             return False
     return True


zip() was the first thing I thought of, but I was wondering if there's 
some other way to do it, perhaps a builtin that actually does this kind 
of testing.

Thanks.
