Now that your main problem is gone, just a few comments:
- python lists know their length, so you don't need explicit no_lines 
and no_lines_2
- list_initial.remove(temp_str) is fairly slow - it has to *scan* the 
list to locate temp_str. Just keep its index instead, and use del 
list_initial[index]
- as a general sorting routine, that 'zzz....' does not look very 
good, try to avoid it.
