def reverse(my_list):
  L = len(my_list)
  for i in range(L/2):
    my_list[i], my_list[L-i - 1] = my_list[L-i-1], my_list[i]
  return my_list

>>> 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。

for x in array[::-1]:
    do stuff

另一个解决方案是使用numpy。翻一下

import numpy as np
array = [0, 10, 20, 40]
list(np.flip(array))
[40, 20, 10, 0]

内置功能最少，假设是面试设置

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8]
inverse = [] #create container for inverse array
length = len(array)  #to iterate later, returns 8 
counter = length - 1  #because the 8th element is on position 7 (as python starts from 0)

for i in range(length): 
   inverse.append(array[counter])
   counter -= 1
print(inverse)

list_data = [1,2,3,4,5]
l = len(list_data)
i=l+1
rev_data = []
while l>0:
  j=i-l
  l-=1
  rev_data.append(list_data[-j])
print "After Rev:- %s" %rev_data
