Merge two files and add computation and sorting the updated data in python

I need help to make the snippet below. I need to merge two files and performs computation on matched lines

I have oldFile.txt which contains old data and newFile.txt with an updated sets of data.

I need to to update the oldFile.txt based on the data in the newFile.txt and compute the changes in percentage. Any idea will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

from collections import defaultdict
num = 0
data=defaultdict(int)
with open("newFile.txt", encoding='utf8', errors='ignore') as f:
    for line in f:
        grp, pname, cnt, cat = line.split(maxsplit=3)
        data[(pname.strip(),cat.replace('\n','').strip(),grp,cat)]+=int(cnt)
        
sorteddata = sorted([[k[0],v,k[1],k[2]] for k,v in data.items()], key=lambda x:x[1], reverse=True)

for subl in sorteddata[:10]:
    num += 1
    line = " ".join(map(str, subl))
    print ("{:>5} -> {:>}".format(str(num), line))

    with open("oldFile.txt", 'a', encoding='utf8', errors='ignore') as l:
        l.write(" ".join(map(str, subl)) + '\n')

oldFile.txt

Just to give a convtools based alternative solution, where you may find useful pieces:

from convtools import conversion as c
from convtools.contrib.tables import Table

# your percentage change calculation
def c_change(column_name):
    return c.if_(
        c.and_(
            c.col(f"{column_name}_LEFT"),
            c.col(f"{column_name}_RIGHT").is_not(None),
        ),
        (
            (c.col(f"{column_name}_RIGHT") - c.col(f"{column_name}_LEFT"))
            / c.col(f"{column_name}_LEFT")
            * 100.0
        ).pipe(round, 2),
        None,
    )

prepare_columns = {
    "COLUMN_0": c.col("COLUMN_0").as_type(float),
    "COLUMN_2": c.col("COLUMN_2").as_type(float),
}
dialect = Table.csv_dialect(delimiter="\t")

sorted_rows = sorted(
    Table.from_csv("tmp1.csv", dialect=dialect)
    .update(**prepare_columns)
    .join(
        Table.from_csv(
            "tmp2.csv",
            dialect=dialect,
        ).update(**prepare_columns),
        on=["COLUMN_1", "COLUMN_3"],
        how="full",
    )
    .update(
        COLUMN_4=c_change("COLUMN_2"),
        COLUMN_5=c_change("COLUMN_0"),
        COLUMN_2=c.col("COLUMN_2_RIGHT"),
        COLUMN_0=c.col("COLUMN_0_RIGHT"),
    )
    .take(
        "COLUMN_0",
        "COLUMN_1",
        "COLUMN_2",
        "COLUMN_3",
        "COLUMN_4",
        "COLUMN_5",
    )
    .into_iter_rows(tuple),
    key=lambda row: row[2],
    reverse=True,
)

Table.from_rows(sorted_rows).into_csv("tmp_result.csv", dialect=dialect)

Results in:

COLUMN_0    COLUMN_1    COLUMN_2    COLUMN_3    COLUMN_4    COLUMN_5
