Is there a reason for calling reversed() instead of reversing the order

range(len(iterables)-1, -1, -1)
Readability. Accurately and automatically reversing ranges was one of
the use cases motivating the addition of 'reversed'. Ranges have a
__reversed__ method which returns a iterator for a reversed range.
Agree. You also can write this as range(1, len(iterables))[::-1]. This
is shorter and (I suppose) slightly faster. But reverse() can be better
choice for a recipe, if it looks less confusing for beginners.
