a wise programmer knows to always ask the question "can i solve this problem in python using metaprogramming?" in this instance, the answer is yes:

def is_even(n: int):
    s = "def is_even_helper(number: int):\n"
    b = True
    for i in range(0, abs(n)+2):
        s += f"\tif (abs(number) == {i}): return {b}\n"
        b = not b
    exec(s)
    return locals().get("is_even_helper")(n)

Gotta love how human readable Python always is!
