I'm not arguing that. Only that one should be polite and considerate when giving advice. That's all. foo[::-1] is acceptable. So is the helper function that you posted: > def reverse(s): > return s[::-1] My 2 min hack is awful to some, and I'm OK with that and fully expect it. But it works OK for me. Is there not room for solutions such as this in Python? No hard feelings. Let's close this thread. I'll accept the slicing and memorize it.
