Oh, then it's even easier, yes, it's mainly a case of list indexing.

1) Split the original string into a list of words (string.split() method)
2) create a sublist (s1) of the last element
3) create another sublist (s2) of the first to penultimate elements
4) combine the two sublists
5) use the string.join() method to combine the sublist elements into a 
single string

I think most pythonistas would probably combine steps 2 through 4 in a 
single line of code, possibly even steps 2 through 5.
