Python - Anagram generator

# python anagram generator 
# 
# This anagram generator uses a 
# text file as a reference for 
# appropriate words. 
# 
# The word file I used is in the 
# following format (each word has 
# it's own line): 
# 
# act 
# addition 
# adjustment 
# advertisement 
# after 
# again 
# against 
# ... and on and on... 
#

Python - Anagram detector

# A python Anagram detector 
# manipulate anagrams with python 
# 
# Python could no doubt solve this in 
# many ways.... here is one: 
 
 
 
# determine whether a string is an anagram 
# of another string 
def isAnagramOf(attempt, original):
    # all the same case 
    attempt, original = attempt.lower(), original.lower()

#   Is Rage an anagram of Texas Ranger = True

Python - palindrome detector

# palindrome detector
#
# parse text and print out palindromes
 
 
# make a map to remove punctuation
punc = {" ":'', ",":'',
        ".":'', "!":'',
        "?":'', "'":'',
        '"':'', ':':'',
        '\n':''}

# determines whether given text is a palindrome
def isPalindrome(text):
    # change to all the same case
    text = text.lower()
    # remove punctuation
    text = text.translate(puncMap)
    # to count as a palindrome it must have
    # at least 2 valid characters
    if (len(text) < 2):
        return False
    # palindrome if it reads the same
    # front or backwards
    return text == text[::-1]
 
 
givenText = """
    Hi Mom, welcome. A man, a plan, a canal, panama. And 
    other text. 
    """
 
# first check the whole text
if (isPalindrome(givenText)):
    print("The entire text: '" + givenText.strip() + "' is a palindrome.")
 
# now check by sentence
for sentence in givenText.split('.'):
    if (isPalindrome(sentence)):
        print("The sentence: '" + sentence.strip() + "' is a palindrome.")
 
# now check every word
for word in givenText.split(' '):
    if (isPalindrome(word)):
        print("The word: '" + word.strip() + "' is a palindrome.")
 
# my output:
# The sentence: 'A man, a plan, a canal, panama' is a palindrome.
# The word: 'Mom,' is a palindrome.
