Oleg, lately I have the feeling you're getting too automatic with this
template response. The OP didn't ask how to reverse a list in Python, he
was trying to build Python itself (on Windows, no less), which suggests
that he may be trying to work *on* Python. Or maybe he isn't, but let's
grant him the benefit of the doubt. If python-dev was overwhelmed with such
posts, then perhaps we'd have to think about solving the problem; but there
is no problem.

Being kind to newbies is an important part of meaningful participation in
an open source project.
