Challenge question

Please do I need to do a setUp method for this challenge. Any hint is greatly appreciated.

tests.py 
import unittest

from string_fun import is_palindrome


class PalindromeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_good_palindrome(self):
        self.assertTrue("tacocat", "tacocat")

    def test_bad_palindrome(self):
        pass
string_fun.py 
def is_palindrome(yarn):
    """Return whether or not a string is a palindrome.

    A palindrome is a word/phrase that's the same in
    both directions.
    """
    return yarn == yarn[::-1]

Rabih, You need to use the function is_palindrome(string) in your self.assertTrue() statement. If you look at line 3 it's importing is_palindrome for you to use and that is what string_fun.py if for. I hope that helps!
