greetings, and welcome to Python!
there were some good solutions using the extended slice operator
([::-1]), but that may be an obscure notation to many newbies to
Python, as powerful as it can be.
i'm going to pick up terry's response and further clarify here (i hope!):

This can be written:
string_list = list(my_str)

A string is a sequence of chars, and you can use slices with it [1].
Greetings,
Try something with this:
>>> string = 'abc'
>>> string
'abc'
>>> for i in range(len(string)-1,-1,-1):
... print string[i],
...
c b a

b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m
