Actually it doesn't even do that. It only prints "running 'every.py'"!
You forgot the line that does all the work:
"""
add_word("")
"""
I'm attaching the whole file so you don't miss the important bit.
Run it and see what happens, but be ready to CNTL-C (I'm assuming you are
running Linux, I think it'll be the same on Mac, all bets are off
regarding M$ Windoz:-)

#!/usr/bin/env python
# file : every.py
print 'Running "every.py"'
possible = "234567abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
word_length = 16
word_list = []
def add_word(word):
if len(word)==word_length:
word_list.append(word)
print word # There may come a time you won't want this line.
else:
for c in possible:
new_word = word + c
add_word(new_word)
add_word("")
# print word_list
