A program that asks the user for one or more sentences and then lets the user know if it is a palindrome.

• A GitHub repo called palindrome containing at least:
  • This README.md file
  • a file called palindrome.py

• Your program must pass the test script test.sh. To run this script, run brew install roundup first.
• Your program must output what it is doing at each step.
• Your program must use a recursive function.

You have to write a program that, when run, asks the user to input some text. It can be a phrase, a sentence, or multiple sentences. After it is entered, your program will let the user know if it is a palindrome or not. Use "is a palindrome" and "is not a palindrome" in your output in order for the tests to pass.

Letter casing and punctuation do not matter when testing a palindrome. All of the following are valid palindromes:

• stunt nuts
• Lisa Bonet ate no basil.
• A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal: Panama!
• Doc, note, I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.

Make both an iterative and recursive version of your palindrome test function.

You may want to use the re.sub function to strip out punctuation and spaces. A regular expression you can use to match all space and punctuation is r'[^A-Za-z]'.

• Palindrome list.
• String type in Python.
• Regular expression operations.
