either visually:
if <the-region-containing-text2>.exists(capture(<the-region-containing-text1>, 0):
    print "equal";
else:
    print "not equal"

or using the OCR-feature:
text1 = <the-region-containing-text1>.text()
text2 = <the-region-containing-text2>.text()
if text1 == text2:

Thrid method :

If you can select your text (with a doubleClick), do :
type('c', KeyModifier.CTRL) # get the selected text in your clipboard
text1 = Env.getClipboard() # get it in run time
# Do the same thing for the text 2 and :
if text1 == text2 : print "they are identical"
else: print "they are not identical"
