Python printing format

[tpkemme]

I have a pretty simple coding function that returns all possible substrings of a string including the string itself

def main():
str = raw_input ("Enter first string: ")
size = len(str)
for sub_len in range (1, size + 1):
for idx in range (0, size - sub_len + 1):
sub_str = str[idx : idx + sub_len]
print sub_str

main()

the current output looks like this for the string 'abcd'
a
b
c
d
ab
bc
cd
abc
bcd
abcd

my question is, how can i get the program to print the substrings in the opposite order in terms of length? i.e.:

abcd
abc
bcd
ab
bc
cd
a
b
c
d

My quick hack of your code gives

    str=raw_input('Enter String?')
    size=len(str)+1
    for sublen in range(size,0,-1):
        for idx in range(size-sublen):
            print "string %s" %str[idx:idx+sublen]

seems to work
