>>> a= {'FieldName1': '4', 'FieldName2': '0.00', 'FieldName3': '4001433', 'FieldName4': '759'}
>>> a
{'FieldName4': '759', 'FieldName1': '4', 'FieldName3': '4001433', 'FieldName2': '0.00'}
>>> a['FieldName3']
'4001433'

If you have the values in one file, get the values in the other one
and then compare.  I am not sure I understand what is the problem here.
