There was so many different solutions presented here to me.
Thanks to all. By adding '.strip('\n') to the last two lines below, it
came out:
Sorted List
['102', '231', '463', '487', '555', '961']
for line in file.readlines():
print line.strip('\n'),
mylist.append(line.strip('\n'))
Further work and studying needed here. LOL.

I printed out some random numbers to a list and use 'print mylist'
and they came out like this:
['102\n', '231\n', '463\n', '487\n', '555\n', '961\n']
I was using 'print mylist.rstrip()' to strip off the '\n'
but kept getting an error of :
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'rstrip'
You have to apply rstrip to each item in the list, not the list itself.
Here are two ways to do it:
#1: modify the list in a for-loop
for i, item in enumerate(mylist):
mylist[i] = item.rstrip()
#2: make a new list with a list comprehension
mylist = [item.rstrip() for item in mylist]
Of the two, I prefer the second.
