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?
