I see other's responses, but am wondering why the line

    if sum(line == 0) > 0:

doesn't raise a "TypeError: iteration over non-sequence" for everyone
else.  line==0 is a single boolean, and a sum on that raises an
exception for me.

I'm also wondering why the program compiles, since the 

        lista.remove(line)

should be more indented.

   Thanks,
