使用反向(数组)可能是最好的方法。

>>> array = [1,2,3,4]
>>> for item in reversed(array):
>>>     print item

如果你需要了解如何实现这个不使用内置反转。

def reverse(a):
    midpoint = len(a)/2
    for item in a[:midpoint]:
        otherside = (len(a) - a.index(item)) - 1
        temp = a[otherside]
        a[otherside] = a[a.index(item)]
        a[a.index(item)] = temp
    return a

这需要O(N)时间。

使用列表。Reverse将列表就地反转:

>>> xs = [0, 10, 20, 40]
>>> xs.reverse()
>>> xs
[40, 20, 10, 0]

使用切片以相反的顺序创建一个新列表:

>>> xs[::-1]
[40, 20, 10, 0]

>>> xs = [0, 10, 20, 40]
>>> xs[::-1]
[40, 20, 10, 0]

这里将解释扩展片语法。请参见文档。

这个类使用Python魔法方法和迭代器进行反转，并反转列表:

class Reverse(object):
    """ Builds a reverse method using magic methods """

    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.index = len(data)


    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        if self.index == 0:
            raise StopIteration

        self.index = self.index - 1
        return self.data[self.index]


REV_INSTANCE = Reverse([0, 10, 20, 40])

iter(REV_INSTANCE)

rev_list = []
for i in REV_INSTANCE:
    rev_list.append(i)

print(rev_list)  

输出

[40, 20, 10, 0]

def reverse(text):
    output = []
    for i in range(len(text)-1, -1, -1):
        output.append(text[i])
    return output

array=[0,10,20,40]
for e in reversed(array):
  print e
