I would suggest that your roblems have more to do with insufficient
understanding of basic constructs, and
that you should work on them, "Learn Python the hard way" a book by Zed
Shaw is a good one.

Why do I say that? Among other things,

k< math.floor(float(len(number_list)/2))

is very poor in any language.
