Really! Learn to use google better. I just used "python sort list"
Look at: http://wiki.python.org/moin/HowTo/Sorting
Read about list.sort. Try, at a command prompt (assuming you have a unix
shell), "pydoc list"
search for sort; read it. It mentions 'reverse'.
then slice the list to your desired set and return.

Appreciate a lot.
Assuming top-k doesn't mean something obscurely statistical:
You really shouldn't do people's homework for them. It doesn't do
them any favours.
Doing people's homework for them is a survival mechanism -- it reduces
the competence of potential new rivals. :)
OTOH, if you do end up working with one of those a new grads with a
diploma but not a clue, you end up worse off because now you have to
teach them the problem solving skills they didn't learn in school.
