new to python, help please !!

[Anas Belemlih]

i am  a beginning programmer,  i am trying to write a simple code to compare two character sets in 2 seperate files. ( 2 hash value files basically)
idea is:
 open both files, measure the length of the  loop on.

if the length doesn't match, ==  files do not  match

if length matchs, loop  while comparing each character from each file if they match. 
 please tell me what i am doing wrong ?  i am using python 2.7

**********************************
hash1= open ("file1.md5", "r")
line1 =hash1.read()
hash2 = open("file2.md5","r")
line2= hash2.read()

number1 = len(line1)
number2 = len(line2)

#**************************
i=0
s1=line1[i]
s2=line2[i]
count = 0

if number1 != number2:
	print " hash table not the same size"
else:
    while count < number1:
	if s1 == s2:
		print " character", line1[i]," matchs"
		i=i+1
	count=count+1
	else
		print "Hash values corrupt"
