Alternate Python List Reverse Solution Needed

Question

I had a job interview today. During it I was asked to write down an algorithm that will reverse a list. First I offered the answer using the reversed() method:

Answer 1

One simple algorithm that could be easily ported to other languages would be:

x = [1,2,3,4,5]
y = []
for i in len(x):
  y.append(x[len(x) - 1 - i])

Or using an iterator. This could be easily ported to be used with a chained list where you don't know the length:

x = [1,2,3,4,5]
y = []
x_iterator = iter(x)
try:
  while (1):
    y.insert(0, x_iterator.next())
except:
  print y

Or a more pythonic version with insert:

x = [1,2,3,4,5]
y = []
for elem in x:
  y.insert(0, elem)
