Not quite a rant, but if you came here for a cool way to reverse strings in python then I've got you covered:

backwardsString = string[::-1]

Don't know why you come to devRANT for tips on python string reversal but hey

I thought it was cool at the time ::)))

I usually prefer to
backwards_string = string[::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1][::-1]
Just to make sure
