How's this for you?

>>> l = list('string')
>>> l
['s', 't', 'r', 'i', 'n', 'g']
>>> l.reverse()
>>> l
['g', 'n', 'i', 'r', 't', 's']
>>> ''.join(l)
'gnirts'

As you can see I converted the string to a list using the list() function
and then applied the reverse method of the list to put it the other way
round and finally used the string method join() to change it back to a
string.
