Comparing two files contents in python

Question

I have 2 text files and I want to compare content of one with another. Need to check ip in Unique.txt is present or not in CheckIp.txt. My code looks like:

with open("/root/nix_bsd_mac_inventory-master/Unique.txt") as fp:
    for line in fp:
        print(line)
        with open("/root/nix_bsd_mac_inventory-master/CheckIp.txt") as fp1:
            for line1 in fp1:
                line1 = line1.rstrip()
                if line == line1:
                    print (line1 + "Ip is Already Present")
                else:
                    print ("Processing Ip:"+ line)

It seems something I am doing wrong. Can someone please help me?

This code should work for you: It is checking if the contents of Unique.txt are found ANYWHERE in CheckIp.

with open("Unique.txt") as firstFile:
    checkIP = firstFile.read().strip()

with open("CheckIp.txt") as secondFile:
    contents = secondFile.read().strip()

if checkIP in contents:
    print ("{} IP is Already Present".format(checkIP))

else:
    print ("Processing Ip: {}".format(checkIP))

However, if both files contain ONLY the IP that you are trying to compare, than you could do a more specific check:

if checkIP == contents:
    print ("{} IP is Already Present".format(checkIP))

else:
    print ("Processing Ip: {}".format(checkIP))
