Better way to swap elements in a list?

Question

I have a bunch of lists that look like this one:

l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

I want to swap elements as follows:

fi         


        

Answer 1

Another approach with simply re-assigning and slicing technique

l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
for a in range(0,len(l),2):
    l[a:a+2] = l[a-len(l)+1:a-1-len(l):-1]
print l

output

[2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5, 8, 7, 10, 9]

Answer 2

A way using Numpy

import numpy as np

l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
l = np.array(l)
final_l = list(np.flip(l.reshape(len(l)//2,2), 1).flatten())
