Hi Sandro, I realize it's mentioned in the how-to docs. I just felt it was such a fundamental operation that is easily overlooked, that having it mentioned in both the library and in the online docs, which are referenced more, would be beneficial. I've missed it on occasion. Thanks, Chris On 3/31/12 1:31 PM, Sandro Tosi wrote:

Hi,

There is no string reverse method in Python, but there is an easy way to do it using negative stepping in the extended slice syntax, ie. some_string[::-1]. Since this is somewhat non-intuitive, I think adding a note to the String Methods section under Built-in Types will spare a lot of people the time of implementing such a method.

It is already mentioned at: http://docs.python.org/faq/programming.html#how-do-i-iterate-over-a-sequence...

Regards,
