Reversing an array in Python
The first solution that comes to mind is to take advantage of the powerful list comprehension and abuse the xrange function:

def reverse(some_list):
    return [some_list[n] for n in xrange(len(some_list) - 1, -1, -1)]


The above is nothing more than the usual reversed for loop that you may find in other languages (like C / C++) as:

for (int i = array.length - 1; i &gt;= 0; i--)  
{  
    // Do something ...  
}  


Details about the range function can be found here but basically, all you have to know about it is its prototype:


  range(start, stop[, step])


which is very descriptive.

I'd go with this instead of your solution because it looks cleaner and I don't see any reasons of why it'd be slower or harder to understand.
