We will help, but we won;t do the lesson for you.
You will need to wr4ite the code.

Do you know about functions yet? If so can you write a function that
recognises palindromes?

def is_palindrome(aString):...

That would be a good first step.

Secondly, can you write a function that opens a file
and prints each line?

def process_file(filename):....

Thirdly can you read a filename from the user and return it?

def get_filename:....

If so then your main program should be very easy to write.

If you are unsure about any of those three steps let us know.
But make sure you send us your code, even if it's broken.
Also send us the full text of any error messages you get.
Finally tell us which OS and Python version you are using.
