String slicing will likely make the code much simpler. Here's something to get you started:

def overlap(left, right):
    for i in reversed(range(len(left))):
            if left[-i:] == right[:i]:
                break
    return left + right[i:]

for pair in [
    ('keyboard', 'ardjimmy'),
    ('jimmy', 'myolita'),
    ('myolita', 'jimmy'),
]:
    left, right = pair
    print pair, '-->', overlap(left, right), overlap(right, left)
