Well, it turns out to be the best way to invert a string, IMO. The reversed() feature returns a reversed object... not a reversed string. In short, I have to fool with it again _after_ it has been inverted. The slicing takes care of the job right away and gives me what I want... no Computer Sciencey <reversed object at 0xb6f6152c>> to deal with :) I'm sure the reversed feature is much more generic though for dealing with other types. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
