write in python. must use while loop

Question 4: Palindromes
Filename: is_palindrome.py
Write a function called is_palindrome that accepts a string and
returns whether or not it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a
word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as
forward. "madam", "racecar", "a", and "123454321" are all
examples.
Hint: Consider how you would use indices to compare the first
character with the last.
Write a main() function in your file to exercise your function
to show that it works correctly. Your test implementation
should not rely on visual inspection to determine if the tests
pass.
