I'd suggest a simpler approach is to use the string/list methods in
Python:
string1 = list(raw_input("enter a string\n")) #using a list is easier
string2 = string1[:] # make a copy
string2.reverse()
if string1 == string2:
print "The entered string is a PALINDROME"
else:
print "The entered string is not a PALINDROME"
