Helen's poor attempt with Python

reverse.py

def reverse_string(list):
    list_length = len(list)
    for i in range(0, list_length//2, 1):
        temp_letter = list[i]
        list[i] = list[list_length - i - 1]
        list[list_length - i - 1] = temp_letter

    return list

new_string = 'ejahdjb ajebdsjb j,awbed ,ajwebdj'

print reverse_string(new_string)

i = 3
print new_string[0]

print new_string[i - 2]
