Yup, that's what print does.  Try sys.stdout.write(word[position]).
You'll have to import sys, of course.

or try this:

print ''.join(reversed(list(word)))

or this:

print word[-1::-1]

I would have sworn there was a string method that returned the
reversed string, but there doesn't seem to be in 2.4.3...

s = ''
for c in word:
    s = c + s
print s
