Your python reference appears to be about 5 years old. :)

Here's a translation that uses some newer features.  Untested, YMMV.

import sys

for line in sys.stdin:
    nums = [int(item) for item in line.strip().split()]
    numset = set(nums)
    for i, item in enumerate(nums[:-1]):
        diff = abs(item - nums[i + 1])
        if diff in numset:
            print "match"
        else:
            print "not a match"
            break
