Oh sorry indentation was messed here...the
wordlist = countDict.keys()
wordlist.sort()
should be outside the word loop.... now
def create_words(lines):
    cnt = 0
    spl_set = '[",;<>{}_&?!():-[\.=+*\t\n\r]+'
    for content in lines:
        words=content.split()
        countDict={}
        wordlist = []
        for w in words:
            w=string.lower(w)
            if w[-1] in spl_set: w = w[:-1]
            if w != '':
                if countDict.has_key(w):
                    countDict[w]=countDict[w]+1
                else:
                    countDict[w]=1
        wordlist = countDict.keys()
        wordlist.sort()
        cnt += 1
        if countDict != {}:
            for word in wordlist: print (word+' '+
str(countDict[word])+'\n')

ok now this is the correct question I am asking...
