Why should the data differ and the replication not detect and correct
it? I frequently hear that MySQL has such a sophisticated replication...

I'd not do this in memory since any database of resonably size can
quickly have more then your work mem data in a table and in this
case you would have it twice.

You could start with connections to both databases
and select * from table order by [primary keys or all columns]
and then use difflib.SequenceMatcher on both cursors
(they should be iterable)

keep in mind that depending on your replication type
the databases could differ by the exact time you start your
comparison.
