def reverseWordOrderOfSentence(sentence):


    #break the sentence into words with split()
    words = sentence.split(' ')


    #reverse the order of the words list
    #in python 2.6.1 a list.reverse() is done to the calling list object

    # older versions return a reversed list..... so
    # words = words.reverse()
    words.reverse()


    #iterate through and build the new sentence
    newSentence = ""

    for word in words:
        newSentence += " " + word


    #return and strip out beginning or trailing white space

    return newSentence.strip()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print reverseWordOrderOfSentence("Hooray for Pythonic Prose")

#input sentence:
# # "Hooray for Pythonic Prose"
