The language isn't really the issue here the issue is the algorithm.
So how would you do it manually with a paper and pen? (forget about 
fetching the list from the URL for now)

One possibility is to use sets (Python has a set data type).
create a set of words.
Now create a set of reversed words.
The intersection of those sets is the set of words which
also have a reversed pair.

print the intersection set.

just one way.
