Not all immutable objects, just those that define __getslice__ 
(basically, those that use indexes: sequences).  Ints, for example, are 
immutable and don't work:

 >>> 12[::-1]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#23>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    12[::-1]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
