This set of codes works:

x = range(5)
x.reverse()
x
[4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

But this doesn't:

x = range(5).reverse()
print x
None

This works just as expected - at least for anyone having read the doc.

Please explain this behavior. range(5) returns a list from 0 to 4 and
reverse just reverses the items on the list that is returned by
range(5). Why is x None (null)?

Because that's what list.reverse() returns. Call it a wart if you want (FWIW, I do), but at least that's well documented.
