I wouldn't care too much about a dedicated "reverse" method that handled combining characters. I think that's just a special case of iterating over graphemes. If we can iterate over graphemes, then reversing because trivial: ''.join(reversed(mystring.graphemes())) The Unicode Consortium offer an algorithm for identifying grapheme clusters in text strings, and there's at least three requests on the tracker (one closed, two open). https://bugs.python.org/issue30717 https://bugs.python.org/issue18406 https://bugs.python.org/issue12733 -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
