A <reversed object> can be turned back into a string: >>> st = '0123456789' >>> reversed(st) <reversed object at 0x00A8CC50> >>> ''.join( reversed(st) ) '9876543210' > > I'm sure the reversed feature is much more generic though for dealing > with other types. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
