Summary: reverse copy of sequence returns None

Initial Comment:
I tried to get a reversed sequence and keep the 
original, so I tried this:

>>> a=[1,2,3,4]
>>> b=(a[:]).reverse()
>>> b
>>> b=a[:]
>>> b.reverse()
>>> b
[4, 3, 2, 1]
>>>

I think this should be a bug. I tried to search this 
bug but get no result. Hope my submit helps.

My version:

Python 2.2 (#28, Dec 21 2001, 12:21:22) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
