Files:
palindrome.py - code
palindrometest.py - unit test
cases.txt  - CSV test file


Assumptions/specifications:
1. Implementation is case sensitive.
2. Implementation does not account for white spaces and punctuation.
3. Empty string returns true


Solution: 
In my current implementation you don\'92t need to write the test cases for each scenario. 
You can just add the input and the expected value along with the function name in a csv file 
and pass it as a command line argument. The function will then create individual test cases. 

Run: 
python palindrometest.py cases.txt  

Output: 
you can pass the name of the file which has the test cases as an argument
