There is an interesting bug in your program, based on a wrong assumption.
My suggestion: replace the while loop by the following code

while (number/10) > 1 :
    print "A) number/10:", number/10, "temp:", temp_var, "number:", number
    temp_var = (temp_var*10) + (number%10)
    number = number/10
else:
    print "B) number/10:", number/10, "temp:", temp_var, "number:", number
    temp_var = (temp_var*10) + number
    print 'The reversed number is ', temp_var 

(in other words: add some debug output)
and try to figure out what went wrong. You'll probably find it pretty soon :)
