Re: How to reverse tuples in a list?

But it seems like there should be a clever way to do this with
a list comprehensions. Problem is I can't see how to apply
reverse() to each tuple in the list because reverse() a
list method (not a tuple method) and because it operates
in-place (does not return a value). This kind of wrecks doing
it in a list comprehension. What I'd like to say is something like
this:
y = [t.reverse() for t in y]
Even if reverse worked on tuples, it wouldn't work inside a
list comprehension.

Why would you want to do it with list comprehensions? Use reversed:

>>> t = (1, 2, 3)
>>> u = tuple(reversed(t))
>>> u
(3, 2, 1)
