string - Checking palindrome word in python -

i have code check whether word palindrome or not:

str = input("enter string") l = len(str) p = l-1 index = 0 while index < p:     if str[index] == str[p]:         index = index + 1         p = p-1         print("string palindrome")         break     else:         print("string not palindrome") 

if word inputted, example : rotor , want program check whether word palindrome , give output "the given word palindrome".

but i'm facing problem that, program checks first r , r , prints "the given word palindrome" , checks o , o , prints "the given word palindrome". prints result many times checking word.

i want result delivered once. how change code?

i had make few changes in code replicate output said saw.

ultimately, want message displayed @ end of comparisons. in case, had inside loop, each time loop ran , hit if condition, status message printed. instead, have changed prints when 2 pointers index , p @ middle of word.

str = input("enter string: ") l = len(str) p = l-1 index = 0 while index < p:     if str[index] == str[p]:         index = index + 1         p = p-1         if index == p or index + 1 == p:             print("string palindrome")     else:         print("string not palindrome")         break
