Now let's timeit. Hint: Alex's [::-1] is fastest :)
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]; nl = list(reversed(ol))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.34 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]; nl = list(ol); nl.reverse();"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.686 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]; nl = ol[::-1];"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.569 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]; nl = [i for i in reversed(ol)];"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.48 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]*1000; nl = list(reversed(ol))"
10000 loops, best of 3: 44.7 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]*1000; nl = list(ol); nl.reverse();"
10000 loops, best of 3: 27.2 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]*1000; nl = ol[::-1];"
10000 loops, best of 3: 24.3 usec per loop
$ p -m timeit "ol = [1, 2, 3]*1000; nl = [i for i in reversed(ol)];"
10000 loops, best of 3: 155 usec per loop
Update: Added list comp method suggested by inspectorG4dget. I'll let the results speak for themselves.
