But note that a significant chunk is the join(): $ python2.4 -mtimeit '"".join(reversed("foo"))' 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.72 usec per loop $ python2.4 -mtimeit 'reversed("foo")' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.69 usec per loop >$ python2.4 -mtimeit '"foo"[::-1]' >1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.516 usec per loop Yeah, I forget about [::-1] due to the high profile of the introduction of reversed(). Well, of sorted(), and reversed() coming along for the ride. And at some point reversed() will become a win: $ python2.4 -mtimeit 'reversed(range(200))' 100000 loops, best of 3: 6.65 usec per loop $ python2.4 -mtimeit 'range(200)[::-1]' 100000 loops, best of 3: 6.88 usec per loop -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
