"list index out of range" error

[sam]

for what it's worth. and it is approx. five times quicker than the
bubblesort i wrote to begin with on a 286-word highly unordered list,
so i wasn't wasting my time after all...

______________________________________________________________________
import time

file_input = open('wordlist.txt', 'r')

list_initial = []

no_lines = 0

for line in file_input:
    list_initial.append(line)
    no_lines += 1

no_lines_2 = no_lines

print list_initial

file_input.close()

raw_input('press enter to sort: ')

list_final = []
temp_str = ""

time1 = time.clock()

for j in range(no_lines_2):

    temp_str = 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'
    for k in range(no_lines):
        if temp_str > list_initial[k]:
            temp_str = list_initial[k]
    list_initial.remove(temp_str)
    list_final.append(temp_str)
    no_lines -= 1

time2 = time.clock()
final_time = time2 - time1
print list_final
print
print 'number of seconds for sort list: ', final_time
print
print 'number of words in list: ', no_lines_2
