Why not use `with` here too?

readlines() reads *the entire file contents* into memory all at once!
Use `for line in f:` instead, which will read from the file one line
at a time.

As already pointed out, use temp.sort() instead.

strip() doesn't do quite what you think it does:
$ python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53)
>>> '.xtx.foo'.strip('.txt')
'foo'
>>>
Consult the docs.
Also, please avoid top-posting in the future.
