You never actually called any of your <expletive deleted> functions.

Slightly corrected version:

from collections import defaultdict

def source(stream):
    return (line.strip() for line in stream)

def merge(sources):
    for m in sources:
        print "|".join(c.ljust(10) for c in m)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = open("/home/amrita/alachems/chem100.txt")
    c = open("/home/amrita/secstr/secstr100.txt")
    merge([source(a), source(c)])


It's still not sophisticated enough to give the exact output you're
looking for, but it is a step in the right direction.

You really should try asking someone from your CS Dept to help you. It
would seriously take a couple hours, at most.
