Python - Coding with fun

How to reverse a string?

s = 'abcdef'
s = s[::-1]
print s 
Explanation: "::" is known as stride notation
s[::2]
s[::-2]
Returns "ace" and "fdb" respectively.

How to read from console in Python?
name = raw_input()

Want to read an integer?
num = raw_input()
num = int(num) # raw_input returns string, so convert it to integer

Swap values in python:
a, b = b, a

My motivation to learn python is: life is short - you need Python
