The question asks to get an input from the user and print if it's a
palindrome or not.
It should be just

strA=3Draw_input()
if strA=3D=3DstrA[::-1]:
    print "Palindrome"
else:
    print "Not"

Right? Am I missing something? Why are you generating random strings and
trying to check for palindromes?=E2=80=8B
