[BangPypers] Parsing data

[Ananya Sharma]

The logic is that i have file A which has some names and file B which has
values for each name in file A and some extra values. I want to make a
script which gives me the values from file B corresponding to all the names
given in file A. My files look like -

*File A-*
>PSUB.GBD61H402FPT34:0-372
>PSUB.GBD61H401EQ8PG:0-365
>PSUB.GBD61H401AV35C:0-423
>PSUB.GBD61H401EWL7A:0-442
>PSUB.GBD61H401CWYC8:0-284

*File B-*
>PSUB.GBD61H402FPT34:0-372

Can anyone please help me write a script in python to accomplish this task.
Thanks.
