You could also do: msgAsList = list(message) list() takes any iterable and returns a list object. > msgAsList.reverse() > reversedMessage = ''.join(msgAsList) In Python 2.4, the following is also possible: reversedMessage = ''.join(reversed(list(message))) It's amazing how in Python even one-liners can be so pretty :-) Christian _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
