You are making the list shorter as you are iterating. By the time your
index is at the end of the original list, it isn't that long any more.
Creating a new list and appending the elements you want to keep avoids
the problem. Or you can just use a list comprehension(untested):

returned_lines=[line for line in open("lines.txt", 'rb')
                            if line != ""]

or just

returned_lines=[line for line in open("lines.txt") if line]
