This class uses Python magic methods and iterators for reversing, and reverses a list:

class Reverse(object):
    """ Builds a reverse method using magic methods """

    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.index = len(data)


    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        if self.index == 0:
            raise StopIteration

        self.index = self.index - 1
        return self.data[self.index]


REV_INSTANCE = Reverse([0, 10, 20, 40])

iter(REV_INSTANCE)

rev_list = []
for i in REV_INSTANCE:
    rev_list.append(i)

print(rev_list)  

Output

[40, 20, 10, 0]
