I have this simple palindrome program that yields different results
depending on whether I run it from Windows or from IDLE. The answer
is correct off IDLE, but why is this the case? Here's the code:
Your code contains debugging statements that print the value of the normal
string and the reversed string. What do those statements print when you
run your program under Windows? That should go a long way towards telling
you what the problem is.
(Perhaps Windows leaves a linefeed character hanging at the end of the
input line, which upsets the palindromic balance?)
By the way, I could not make your program work as you provided it; I had
to replace input() with raw_input(). Does it really work for you this way?
It's Python 3.
Python 2's raw_input() has been renamed input() in Python 3 and Python
2's input() was never in Python 3 because it uses eval on the string,
which usually undesirable.
