Why can't Python have a reverse() function/method like Ruby? Python: x = 'a_string' # Reverse the string print x[::-1]
Ruby: x = 'a_string' # Reverse the string print x.reverse The Ruby approach makes sense to me as a human being. The Python approach is not easy for me (as a human being) to remember. Can that be changed or should I just start blindly memorizing this stuff? P.S. I like Python better than Ruby 90% of the time and use Python 90% of the time, but 10% of the time, little things such as this drive me crazy! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
