This whole part can be rewritten (without sorting, but in Py2.4 you can use sorted() for this) with a list comprehension (Old Python2.1 style, with a newer version the keys() aren't needed):
for k,v in [(k, items_dict[k]) \
for k in items_dict.keys() if items_dict[k] > 1]:
print '%s occurred %s times' %(key, items_dict[key])

I think it is clearer to filter the list as it is printed. And dict.iteritems() is handy here, too.

for k, v in items_dict.iteritems():
  if v > 1:
    print '%s occurred %s times' % (k, v)
